SWITCH NODE CONSIDERATIONS

For maximum efficiency, switch rise and fall times are

made as short as possible. To prevent radiation and high

frequency resonance problems, proper layout of the com-

ponents connected to the switch node is essential. B field

(magnetic) radiation is minimized by keeping catch diode,

switch pin, and input bypass capacitor leads as short as

possible. E field radiation is kept low by minimizing the

length and area of all traces connected to the switch pin

and BOOST pin. A ground plane should always be used

under the switcher circuitry to prevent interplane cou-

pling. A suggested layout for the critical components is

shown in Figure 5. Note that the feedback resistors and

compensation components are kept as far as possible

from the switch node. Also note that the high current

ground path of the catch diode and input capacitor are kept

very short and separate from the analog ground line.

The high speed switching current path is shown schemati-

cally in Figure 6. Minimum lead length in this path is

essential to ensure clean switching and low EMI. The path
