Use the following guidelines to layout the switching volt-
age regulator:
1) Place the IN, V
2) Minimize the area and length of the high current
3) Keep short the current loop formed by the lower
4) Place the Schottky diodes close to the lower
5) Keep the SGND and PGND isolated and connect
6) Run the current-sense lines CSP and CSN very
7) Avoid long traces between the V
8) Distribute the power components evenly across the
9) Provide enough copper area at and around the
10) Use wide copper traces (2oz) to keep trace induc-
