Layout Guidelines:
In order to achieve optimal electrical and thermal
performance for high frequency converters, special
attention must be paid to the PCB layouts. The goal of
layout optimization is to identify the high di/dt loops and
minimize them. The following guidelines should be used
to ensure proper operation of the converters.
1. A ground plane is suggested to minimize switching
2. Start the PCB layout by placing the power components

power flow route. Put all power connections on one
side of the PCB with wide copper filled areas if
possible.

connect this large copper area to a ground plane to
further improve the thermal environment of the
SC4519H. The traces attached to other pins should
be as wide as possible for the same purpose.
