BOARD LAYOUT
The CAT4237 is a high-frequency switching regulator.
The traces that carry the high-frequency switching
current have to be carefully layout on the board in
order to minimize EMI, ripple and noise in general.
The thicker lines on Figure 3 show the switching
current path. All these traces have to be short and
wide enough to minimize the parasitic inductance and
resistance. The loop shown on Figure 3 corresponds
to the current path when the CAT4237 internal switch
is closed. On Figure 4 is shown the current loop, when
the CAT4237 switch is open. Both loop areas should
be as small as possible.
