Application Information
to perform these functions. The ESR, or equivalent series
resistance, of the filter capacitors is a major factor in voltage
ripple. Table 3 lists suggested capacitors suppliers.

BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATION
PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter
design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a
DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing
EMI, ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss in the traces.
Below are layout recommendation to maximize device per-
formance: 1) Place the inductor and filter capacitors close
together and minimize the traces between components as
they carry relatively high switching current and act as anten-
nas. 2) Use wide traces between the power components and
for power connections to DC-DC converters circuit. 3) Route
noise sensitive traces such as the voltage feedback path
away from noisy power components. 4) Connect the ground
pins and filter capacitors together via a ground plane to
prevent switching current circulating through the ground
plane. Additional information regarding Micro SMD package
layout can be found in Application note AN-1112.
