• Manufacturer Part Number: SC411EVB
• Description: Synchronous Buck Pseudo-Fixed Frequency Power Supply Controller
• Manufacturer: SEMTECH [Semtech Corporation]

As shown below, VOUT should be routed away from noisy traces (such as BST, DH, DL and LX) and in a quiet layer (if
possible) to the output capacitor(s).
Next, the schematic in Figure 8 below shows the power section. The highest di/dts occur in the input loop (highlight-
ed in red) and thus this loop should be kept as small as possible.
The input capacitors should be placed with the highest frequency capacitors closest to the loop to reduce EMI. Use
large copper pours to minimize losses and parasitics. See Figure 9 for an example.
