PRODUCTION DATA.
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design especially at high peak currents and switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator might show stability problems as well as EMI problems.
Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main current paths as indicted in bold in Figure 19. The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the IC pins as well as the inductor and output capacitor. Place the bypass capacitor, C3, as close as possible to the FC pin. The analog ground, GND, and the power ground, PGND, need to be separated. Use a common ground node as shown in Figure 19 to minimize the effects of ground noise.
