SNVS192C October 2002 – November 2015 LP3992
PRODUCTION DATA.
The dynamic performance of the LP3992 is dependant on the layout of the PCB. PCB layout practices that are adequate for typical LDOs may degrade the PSRR, noise, or transient performance of the device.
Best performance is achieved by placing CIN and COUT on the same side of the PCB as the LP3992 and as close as is practical to the package. The ground connections for CIN and COUT must be routed back to the LP3992 GND pin using as wide and as short a copper trace as is practical.
Avoid layout connections that have any combination of long trace length, narrow trace width, or vias. These add parasitic inductances and resistance that result in inferior performance, especially during transient conditions.
