- Solution : Implement proper thermal vias, use 2oz copper layers, and ensure minimum 25mm² copper area under the package
Stability Problems
- Pitfall : Output oscillation due to improper compensation network
- Solution : Follow manufacturer's compensation guidelines precisely, use X7R or better ceramic capacitors
EMI Compliance Challenges
- Pitfall : Failed radiated emissions tests
- Solution : Implement pi-filter at input, use shielded inductors, maintain tight component placement
### Compatibility Issues
Microcontroller Interfaces
- Ensure logic level compatibility (3.3V/5V) with host microcontroller
- Pay attention to enable/power-good signal timing requirements
External Component Selection
- Inductors : Must handle peak currents with minimal saturation
- Capacitors : Use low-ESR types (ceramic or polymer) for stability
- Diodes : Schottky diodes recommended for higher efficiency
Sensor Integration
- Compatible with most current sense amplifiers
- May require level shifting for analog monitoring signals
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Stage Layout
```
1. Keep input capacitors close to VIN and GND pins
2. Place bootstrap capacitor adjacent to BOOT pin
3. Route power traces wide and short (<10mm preferred)
4. Use multiple vias for ground connections
```
Signal Routing
- Separate analog and power grounds
- Route feedback traces away from switching nodes
- Keep compensation components close to IC
Thermal Management
- Use thermal relief patterns for soldering
- Implement 4-layer board with ground plane
- Consider thermal interface material for high-power applications
EMI Reduction Techniques
- Place input filter close to connector
- Use ground stitching vias around perimeter
- Implement guard rings for sensitive analog signals
