3) Route high-speed switching nodes away from sen-
sitive analog areas (CCI, CCV, REF, V
FB
, I
FB
, I
SEC
,
ILIM). Make all pin-strap control input connections
(ILIM, etc.) to analog ground or V
CC
rather than
power ground or V
DD
.
4) Mount the decoupling capacitor from V
CC
to GND
as close as possible to the IC with dedicated
traces that are not shared with other signal paths.
5) The current-sense paths for LX1 and LX2 to GND
must be made using Kelvin-sense connections to
guarantee the current-limit accuracy. With 8-pin
SO MOSFETs, this is best done by routing power
to the MOSFETs from outside using the top copper
layer, while connecting GND and LX inside (under-
neath) the 8-pin SO package.
6) Ensure the feedback connections are short and
direct. To the extent possible, IFB, VFB, and ISEC
connections should be far away from the high-volt-
age traces and the transformer.
7) To the extent possible, high-voltage trace clear-
ance on the transformer’s secondary should be
widely separated. The high-voltage traces should
also be separated from adjacent ground planes to
prevent lossy capacitive coupling.
8) The traces to the capacitive voltage-divider on the
transformer’s secondary need to be widely sepa-
rated to prevent arcing. Moving these traces to
opposite sides of the board can be beneficial in
some cases (see Figure 10).
