PCB Layout Guidelines
Boost converter performance can be adversely
affected by poor layout. Possible impact includes
high input and output voltage ripple, poor EMI per-
formance, and reduced operating efficiency. Every
attempt should be made to optimize the layout in
order to minimize parasitic PCB effects (stray
resistance, capacitance, inductance) and EMI cou-
pling from the high frequency SW node.
A suggested PCB layout for the AAT1230/1230-1
boost converter is shown in Figures 3 and 4. The fol-
lowing PCB layout guidelines should be considered:
1. Minimize the distance from Capacitor C1 and
2. Place the feedback resistors close to the output

C2 negative terminal to the PGND pins. This
is especially true with output capacitor C2,
which conducts high ripple current from the
output diode back to the PGND pins.
terminals. Route the output pin directly to resis-
tor R1 to maintain good output regulation. R3
should be routed close to the output GND pin,
but should not share a significant return path
with output capacitor C2.

This is critical in applications requiring immuni-
ty from input noise during “hot plug” events, e.g.
when plugged into an active USB port.
