Because the PBC layout is critical to the
performance of the interfaces associated with these power supplies, treating these
power supplies like analog signals is vital. Specifically:
- Place high-frequency components (such as ferrites and capacitors) as close to the power ball(s) as possible.
- Choose high-frequency ceramic capacitors (such as
those with a value of 0.1µF, 0.01µF, and 100nF) that have low ESR and ESL
values. Design the leads as short as possible, and as such, TI recommends that
these capacitors be placed under the package on the opposite side of the
board.
- For each power pin, a single trace (as wide as possible) must be used from the controller to the capacitor and then through the series ferrite to the power source.
- For each power pin, add a 100nF decoupling capacitor placed near the escape via.
Add this decoupling capacitance to the capacitance recommended for filters.
These are minimum recommendations, so different layouts can require additional
capacitance.
