specifications section of this data sheet and a calculation can
be made to determine the IC junction temperature. However,
it should be noted that the physical layout of the board, the
proximity of other heat sources such as MOSFETs and
inductors, and the amount of metal connected to the IC,
impact the temperature of the device. Use these calculations
as a guide, but measurements should be taken in the actual
application.
Layout Considerations
very important. Switching current from one power device to
another can generate voltage transients across the
impedances of the interconnecting bond wires and circuit
traces. These interconnecting impedances should be
minimized by using wide, short printed circuit traces. The
critical components should be located as close together as
possible using ground plane construction or single point
grounding. The figure below shows the critical power
components of the converter. To minimize the voltage
overshoot the interconnecting wires indicated by heavy lines
should be part of ground or power plane in a printed circuit
board. The components shown in the figure below should be
located as close together as possible. Please note that the

capacitors. It is desirable to locate the NCP1579 within 1
inch of the MOSFETs, Q1 and Q2. The circuit traces for the
MOSFETs’ gate and source connections from the NCP1579
must be sized to handle up to 2 A peak current.
