LT3509
Dual 36V, 700mA
Step-Down Regulator
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
n
The LT®3509 is a dual, current mode, step-down switching
regulator, with internal power switches each capable of
providing 700mA output current. This regulator provides a
compact and robust solution for multi-rail systems in harsh
environments. It incorporates several protection features
including overvoltage lockout and cycle by cycle current
limit. Thermal shutdown provides additional protection.
The loop compensation components and the boost diodes
are integrated on-chip. Switching frequency is set by a
single external resistor. External synchronization is also
possible. The high maximum switching frequency allows
the use of small inductors and ceramic capacitors for low
ripple. Constant frequency operation above the AM band
avoids interference with radio reception, making the LT3509
well suited for automotive applications. Each regulator
has an independent shutdown and soft-start control pin.
When both converters are powered down, the common
circuitry enters a low current shutdown state.

PIN FUNCTIONS
(DFN/MSE)
DA1, DA2 (Pins 1, 7 / Pins 1, 8): The DA pins are the
anode connections for the catch diodes. These are connected internally to the exposed ground pad by current
sensing resistors.
BOOST1, BOOST2 (Pins 2, 6 / Pins 2, 7): The BOOST
pins are used to dynamically boost the power transistor
base above VIN to minimize the voltage drop and power
loss in the switch. These should be tied to the associated
switch pins through the boost capacitors.
SW1, SW2 (Pins 3, 5 / Pins 3, 6): The SW pins are the
internal power switch outputs. These should be connected
to the associated inductors, catch diode cathodes, and the
boost capacitors.
VIN (Pin 4 / Pins 4, 5): The VIN pins supply power to the
internal power switches and control circuitry. In the MSE
package the VIN pins must be tied together. The input
capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the
supply pins.
FB1, FB2 (Pins 14, 8 / Pins 16, 9): The FB pins are used
to set the regulated output voltage relative to the internal
reference. These pins should be connected to a resistor
divider from the regulated output such that the FB pin is
at 0.8V when the output is at the desired voltage.
RUN/SS1, RUN/SS2 (Pins 13, 9 / Pins 15, 10): The RUN/SS
pins enable the associated regulator channel. If both pins
are pulled to ground, the device will shut-down to a low
power state. In the range 0.7V to 2.0V, the regulators are
enabled but the peak switch current and the DA pin maximum current are limited to provide a soft-start function.
Above 2V, the full output current is available. The inputs
incorporate a 1μA pull-up so that they will float high or
charge an external capacitor to provide a current limited
soft-start. The pins are pulled down by approximately 250μA
in the case of overvoltage or overtemperature conditions
in order to discharge the soft-start capacitors. The pins
can also be driven by a logic control signal of up to 5.0V.
In this case, it is necessary place a 10k to 50k resistor
in series along with a capacitor from the RUN/SS pin to
ground to ensure that there will be a soft-start for both
initial turn on and in the case of fault conditions. Do not
tie these pins to VIN.
RT (Pin 10 / Pin 11): The RT pin is used to set the internal
oscillator frequency. A 40.2k resistor from RT to ground
results in a nominal frequncy of 1MHz.
SYNC (Pin 11 / Pin12): The SYNC pin allows the switching
frequency to be synchronized to a external clock. Choose
RT resistor to set a free-run frequency at least 12% less
than the external clock frequency for correct operation.
BD (Pin 12 / Pin 13): The BD pin is common anode connection of the internal Schottky boost diodes. This provides
the power for charging the BOOST capacitors. It should
be locally bypassed for best performance.
GND (Exposed Pad): This is the reference and supply
ground for the regulator. The exposed pad must be soldered
to the PCB and electrically connected to supply ground.
Use a large ground plane and thermal vias to optimize
thermal performance. The current in the catch diodes also
flows through the GND pad to the DA pins.
AGND (Pin 14, MSE Package Only): This is the connected
to the ground connection of the chip and may be used as a
separate return for the low current control side components.
It should not be used as the only ground connection or as
a connection return for load side components.

LT3509
OPERATION
Overview
The LT3509 is a dual, constant frequency, current mode
switching regulator with internal power switches. The two
independent channels share a common voltage reference
and oscillator and operate in phase. The switching frequency
is set by a single resistor and can also be synchronized to
an external clock. Operation can be best understood by
referring to the Block Diagram (Figure 1).
Startup and Shutdown
When the RUN/SS[1,2] pins are pulled low (<0.3V) the
associated regulator channel is shut-down. If both channels
are shut down, the common circuitry also enters a low
current state. When the RUN/SS pins exceed approximately
0.7V, the common circuitry and the associated regulator
are enabled but the output current is limited. From 0.7V up
to 2.0V the current limit increases until it reaches the full
value. The RUN/SS pins also incorporate a 1μA pull-up to
approximately 3V, so the regulator will run if they are left
open. A capacitor to ground will cause a current limited
soft-start to occur at power-up. In the case of undervoltage,
overvoltage or over-temperature conditions the internal
circuitry will pull the RUN/SS pins down with a current
of approximately 250μA. Thus a new soft-start cycle will
occur when the fault condition ends.
Voltage and Current Regulation
The power switches are controlled by a current-mode
regulator architecture. The power switch is turned on at
the beginning of each clock cycle and turned off by the
Main Current Comparator. The inductor current will ramp
up while the switch is on until it reaches the peak current
threshold. The current at which it turns off is determined
by the Error Amp and the internal compensation network.
When the switch turns off, the current in the inductor
will cause the SW pin to fall rapidly until the catch diode,
D1, conducts. The voltage applied to the inductor will
now reverse and the current will linearly fall. The resistor
divider, R1 and R2, sets the desired output voltage such
that when the voltage at FB reaches 0.8V, the Main Current
Comparator threshold will fall and reduce the peak inductor
current and hence the average current, until it matches the
load current. By making current the controlled variable in
the loop, the inductor impedance is effectively removed
from the transfer function and the compensation network
is simplified. The Main Current Comparator threshold is
reduced by the slope compensation signal to eliminate
sub-harmonic oscillations at duty cycles >50%.
Current Limiting
Current mode control provides cycle by cycle current
limiting by means of a clamp on the maximum current that
can be provided by the switch. A comparator monitors the
current flowing through the catch diode via the DA pin.
This comparator delays switching if the diode current is
higher than 0.95A (typical). This current level is indicative
of a fault condition such as a shorted output with a high
input voltage. Switching will only resume once the diode
current has fallen below the 0.95A limit. This way the DA
comparator regulates the valley current of the inductor to
0.95A during a short circuit. This will ensure the part will
survive a short circuit event.
Over and Under Voltage Shutdown
A basic under voltage lockout prevents switching if VIN
is below 3.3V (typical). The overvoltage shutdown stops
the part from switching when VIN is greater than 38.5V
(typical). This protects the device and its load during
momentary overvoltage events. After the input voltage
falls below 38.5V, the part initiates a soft start sequence
and resumes switching.
BOOST Circuit
To ensure best efficiency and minimum dropout voltage
the output transistor base drive is boosted above VIN by
the external boost capacitors (C4). When the SW pin is
low the capacitors are charged via the BOOST diodes and
the supply on BD.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Shutdown and Soft Start
Setting The Output Voltage
When the RUN/SS pins are pulled to ground, the part will
shut down to its lowest current state of approximately
10μA. If driving a large capacitive load it may be desirable
to use the current limiting soft start feature. Connecting
capacitors to ground from the RUN/SS pins will control
the delay until full current is available. The pull-up current
is 1μA and the full current threshold is 2V so the start-up
time is given by:
The output voltage is programmed with a resistor divider
between the output and the FB pin. Choose the resistors
according to:
T = 2 × C × 106 s
For example a 0.005μF capacitor will give a time to full
current of 10ms. If both outputs can come up together
then the two inputs can be paralleled and tied to one capacitor. In this case use twice the capacitor value to obtain
the same start-up time. During the soft-start time both
the peak current threshold and the DA current threshold
will track so the part will skip pulses as required to limit
the maximum inductor current. Starting up into a large
capacitor is not much different to starting into a shortcircuit in this respect.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
External Synchronization
The external synchronization provides a trigger to the
internal oscillator. As such, it can only raise the frequency
above the free-run value. To allow for device and
component tolerances, the free run frequency should be
set to at least 12% lower than the lowest supplied external
synchronization reference. The oscillator and hence the
switching frequency can then pushed up from 12% above
the free-run frequency, set by the selected RT. For example,
if the minimum external clock is 300kHz, the RT should
be chosen for 264KHz.
The SYNC input has a threshold of 1.0V nominal so it is
compatible with most logic levels. The duty cycle is not
critical provided the high or low pulse width is at least
80ns.
Design Procedure
Before starting detailed design a number of key design
parameters should be established as these may affect
design decisions and component choices along the way.
One of the main things to determine apart from the desired
output voltages is the input voltage range. Both the normal
operating range and the extreme conditions of surges
and/or dips or brown-outs need to be known. Then the
operating frequency should be considered and if there
are particular requirements to avoid interference. If there
are very specific frequencies that need to be avoided then
external synchronization may be needed. This could also be
desirable if multiple switchers are used as low frequency
beating between similar devices can be undesirable. For
efficient operation this converter requires a boost supply so
that the base of the output transistor can be pumped above
the input voltage during the switch on time. Depending
on the input and output voltages the boost supply can be
provided by the input voltage, one of the regulated outputs
or an independent supply such as an LDO.
Input Voltage Range
Firstly, the LT3509 imposes some hard limits due to the
undervoltage lock-out and the overvoltage protection. A
given application will also have a reduced, normal operating
range over which maximum efficiency and lowest ripple
are obtained. This usually requires that the device is
operating at a fixed frequency without skipping pulses.
There may also be zones above and below the normal
range where regulation is maintained but efficiency and
ripple may be compromised. At the low end, insufficient
input voltage will cause loss of regulation and increased
ripple–this is the dropout range. At the high end if the
duty cycle becomes too low this will cause pulse skipping
and excessive ripple. This is the pulse-skip region. Both
situations also lead to higher noise at frequencies other than
the chosen switching frequency. Occasional excursions
into pulse-skip mode, during surges for example, may be
tolerable. Pulse skipping will also occur at light loads even
within the normal operating range but ripple is usually not
degraded because at light load the output capacitor can
hold the voltage steady between pulses.
To ensure the regulator is operating in continuous mode
it is necessary to calculate the duty cycle for the required
output voltage over the full input voltage range. This must
then be compared with minimum and maximum practical
duty cycles.

LT3509
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
In any step-down switcher the duty cycle when operating
in continuous, or fixed frequency, mode is dependent
on the step-down ratio. This is because for a constant
average load current the decay of the inductor current
when the switch is off must match the increase in inductor
current when the switch is on. The can be estimated by
the following formula:
DC =
VOUT + VF
VIN − VSW + VF
Where:
DC = Duty Cycle (Fraction of Cycle when Switch is On)
VOUT = Output Voltage
VIN = Input Voltage
VF = Catch Diode Forward Voltage
VSW = Switch Voltage Drop
Note: This formula neglects switching and inductor losses
so in practice the duty cycle may be slightly higher.
It is clear from this equation that the duty cycle will approach
100% as the input voltage is reduced and become smaller
as the input voltage increases. There are practical limits to
the minimum and maximum duty cycles for continuous
operation due to the switch minimum off and on times.
These are independent of operating frequency so it is clear
that range of usable duty cycle is inverserly proportional to
frequency. Therefore at higher frequency the input voltage
range (for constant frequncy operation) will narrow.
The minimum duty cycle is given by:
DCMIN = fSW • t ON(MIN)
Where: fSW = Switching Frequency
The minimum on time increases with increasing temperature so the value for the maximum operating temperature
should be used. See the Minimum ON Time vs Load graph
in the Typical Performance Characteristics.
The maximum input voltage for this duty cycle is given by:
VIN(MAX ) =
VOUT + VF
− VF + VSW
DCMIN
Above this voltage the only way the LT3509 can maintain
regulation is to skip cycles so the effective freqeuncy will
reduce. This will cause an increase in ripple and the switching noise will shift to a lower frequency. This calculation
will in practice drive the maximum switching frequency
for a desired step-down ratio.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Minimum Input Voltage and Boost Architecture
The minimum operating voltage is determined either by
the LT3509’s internal undervoltage lockout of ~3.6V or
by its maximum duty cycle. The maximum duty cycle for
fixed frequency operation is given by:
DCMAX = 1− tOFF(MIN) • fSW
It follows that:
VIN(MIN) =
VOUT + VF
− VF + VSW
DCMAX
If a reduction in switching frequency can be tolerated the
minimum input voltage can drop to just above output
voltage. Not only is the output transistor base pumped
above the input voltage by the boost capacitor, the
switch can remain on through multiple switching cycles
resulting in a high effective duty cycle. Thus, this is a
true low-dropout regulator. As it is necessary to recharge
the boost capacitor from time to time, a minimum width
off-cycle will be forced occasionally to maintain the charge.
Depending on the operating frequency, the duty cycle can
reach 97-98%, although at this point the output pulses
will be at a sub-multiple of the programmed frequency.
One other consideration is that at very light loads or no
load the part will go into pulse skipping mode. The part
will then have trouble getting enough voltage on to the
boost capacitors to fully saturate the switch. This is most
problematic when the BD pin is supplied from the regulated
output. The net result is that a higher input voltage will be
required to start up the boost system. The typical minimum
input voltage over a range of loads is shown in Figure 5
for 3.3V and Figure 6 for 5.0V.
When operating at such high duty cycles the peak currents
in the boost diodes are greater and this will require a the
BD supply to be somewhat higher than would be required
at less extreme duty cycles. If operation at low input/output
ratios and low BD supply voltages is required it may be
desirable to augment the internal boost diodes with external
discrete diodes in parallel.
Boost Pin Considerations
The boost capacitor, in conjunction with the internal boost
diode, provides a bootstrapped supply for the power switch
that is above the input voltage. For operation at 1MHz and
above and at reasonable duty cycles a 0.1μF capacitor
will work well. For operation at lower frequencies and/or
higher duty cycles something larger may be needed. A
good rule of thumb is:
VIN(MIN) =
where fSW is in MHz and CBOOST is in μF

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Boost Pin Considerations
Figure 7 through Figure 9 show several ways to arrange
the boost circuit. The BOOST pin must be more than 2.0V
above the SW pin for full efficiency. For outputs of 3.3V
and higher, the standard circuit Figure 7 is best. For lower
output voltages, the boost diode can be tied to the input
Figure 8. The circuit in Figure 7 is more efficient because
the boost pin current comes from a lower voltage source.
Finally, as shown in Figure 9, the BD pin can be tied to
another source that is at least 3V. For example, if you are
generating 3.3V and 1.8V, and the 3.3V is on whenever
the 1.8V is on, the 1.8V boost diode can be connected to
the 3.3V output.

In any case, be sure that the maximum voltage at the
BOOST pin is less than 60V and the voltage difference
between the BOOST and SW pins is less than 30V.
Inductor Selection and Maximum Output Current
A good first choice for the inductor value is:
L = ( VOUT + VF ) •
2.1MHz
fSW
where VF is the voltage drop of the catch diode (~0.5V)
and L is in μH.
The inductor’s RMS current rating must be greater than the
maximum load current and its saturation current should
be at least 30% higher. For highest efficiency, the series
resistance (DCR) should be less than 0.15Ω. Table 2 lists
several vendors and types that are suitable.
The current in the inductor is a triangle wave with an average
value equal to the load current. The peak switch current
is equal to the output current plus half the peak-to-peak
inductor ripple current. The LT3509 limits its switch current
in order to protect itself and the system from over-current
faults. Therefore, the maximum output current that the
LT3509 will deliver depends on the switch current limit,
the inductor value and the input and output voltages.

LT3509
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
When the switch is off, the potential across the inductor is
the output voltage plus the catch diode forward voltage. This
gives the peak-to-peak ripple current in the inductor:
ΔIL = (1– DC)
VOUT + VF
L • fSW
where:
DC = Duty Cycle
fSW = switching frequency
L = inductor value
VF = diode forward voltage.
The peak inductor and switch current is:
ISWPK = ILPK = IOUT +
ΔIL
2
To maintain output regulation, this peak current must be
less than the LT3509’s switch current limit ILIM. This is
dependent on duty cycle due to the slope compensation.
For ILIM is at least 1.4A at low duty cycles and decreases
linearly to 1.0A at DC = 0.8.
The theoretical minimum inductance can now be calculated as:
LMIN =
1– DCMIN VOUT + VF
•
f
ILIM – IOUT
There is a limit to the actual minimum duty cycle imposed
by the minimum on time of the switch. For a robust design
it is important that inductor that will not saturate when
the switch is at its minimum on time, the input voltage
is at maximum and the output is short-circuited. In this
case the full input voltage, less the drop in the switch, will
appear across the inductor. This doesn’t require an actual
short, just starting into a capacitive load will provide the
same conditions. The Diode current sensing scheme will
ensure that the switch will not turn-on if the inductor
current is above the DA current limit threshold, which has
a maximum of 1.1A. The peak current under short-circuit
conditions can then be calculated from:
IPEAK =
VIN • tON(MIN)
L
+ 1.1A
The inductor should have a saturation current greater than
this value. For safe operation with high input voltages this
can often mean using a physically larger inductor as higher
value inductors often have lower saturation currents for
a given core size. As a general rule the saturation current
should be at least 1.8A to be short-circuit proof. However,
it’s generally better to use an inductor larger than the
minimum value. The minimum inductor has large ripple
currents which increase core losses and require large
output capacitors to keep output voltage ripple low. Select
an inductor greater than LMIN that keeps the ripple current
below 30% of ILIM.

Frequency Compensation
The LT3509 uses current mode control to regulate the
output, which simplifies loop compensation and allows
the necessary filter components to be integrated. The fixed
internal compensation network has been chosen to give
stable operation over a wide range of operating conditions
but assumes a minimum load capacitance. The LT3509
does not depend on the ESR of the output capacitor for
stability so the designer is free to use ceramic capacitors
to achieve low output ripple and small PCB footprint.
Figure 10 shows an equivalent circuit for the LT3509 control
loop. The error amp is a transconductance amplifier with
finite output impedance. The power section, consisting of
the modulator, power switch and inductor is modeled as a
transconductance amplifier generating an output current
proportional to the voltage at the COMP-NODE. The gain
of the power stage (gmp) is 1.1S. Note that the output
capacitor integrates this current and that the internal
capacitor integrates the error amplifier output current,
resulting in two poles in the loop. In most cases, a zero is
required and comes either from the output capacitor ESR

or from RC. This model works well as long as the inductor
current ripple is not too low (ΔIRIPPLE > 5% IOUT) and the
loop crossover frequency is less than fSW/5. An optional
phase lead capacitor (CPL) across the feedback divider
may improve the transient response.

Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor filters the inductor current to generate
an output with low voltage ripple. It also stores energy in
order to satisfy transient loads and stabilize the LT3509’s
control loop. Because the LT3509 operates at a high
frequency, minimal output capacitance is necessary. In
addition, the control loop operates well with or without
the presence of output capacitor series resistance (ESR).
Ceramic capacitors, which achieve very low output ripple
and small circuit size, are therefore an option.
You can estimate output ripple with the following equations:
For ceramic capacitors where low capacitance value is
more significant than ESR:
VRIPPLE = ΔIL / (8 • fSW • COUT )
For electrolytic capacitors where ESR is high relative to
capacitive reactance:
VRIPPLE = ΔIL • ESR
where ΔIL is the peak-to-peak ripple current in the inductor.
The RMS content of this ripple is very low so the RMS
current rating of the output capacitor is usually not of
concern. It can be estimated with the formula:
IC(RMS) = ΔIL / 12
Another constraint on the output capacitor is that it must
have greater energy storage than the inductor; if the stored
energy in the inductor transfers to the output, the resulting
voltage step should be small compared to the regulation
voltage. For a 5% overshoot, this requirement indicates:
COUT > 10 • L •(ILIM / VOUT)2
The low ESR and small size of ceramic capacitors make them
the preferred type for LT3509 applications. Not all ceramic
capacitors are the same, however. Many of the higher value
capacitors use poor dielectrics with high temperature and
voltage coefficients. In particular, Y5V and Z5U types lose
a large fraction of their capacitance with applied voltage
and at temperature extremes. Because loop stability and
transient response depend on the value of COUT, this loss
may be unacceptable. Use X7R and X5R types.

LT3509
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The value of the output capacitor greatly affects the
transient response to a load step. It has to supply extra
current demand or absorb excess current delivery until
the feedback loop can respond. The loop response is
dependent on the error amplifier transconductance, the
internal compensation capacitor and the feedback network. Higher output voltages necessarily require a larger
feedback divider ratio. This will also reduce the loop gain
and slow the response time. Fortunately this effect can be
mitigated by use of a feed-forward capacitor CPL across
the top feedback resistor. The small signal model shown
in Figure 10 can be used to model this in a simulator or
to give insight to an empirical design. Figure 11 shows
some load step responses with differing output capacitors
and CPL combinations.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor needs to supply the pulses of charge
demanded during the on time of the switches. Little total
capacitance is required as a few hundred millivolts of ripple
at the VIN pin will not cause any problems to the device.
When operating at 2MHz and 12V, 2μF will work well. At
the lowest operating frequency and/or at low input voltages
a larger capacitor such as 4.7μF is preferred.

Diode Selection
The catch diode (D1 from Figure 1) conducts current only
during switch off time. Average forward current in normal
operation can be calculated from:
ID( AVG) = IOUT ( VIN – VOUT ) / VIN
The only reason to consider a diode with a larger current
rating than necessary for nominal operation is for the
worst-case condition of shorted output. The diode current
will then increase to the typical peak switch current limit.
If transient input voltages exceed 40V, use a Schottky
diode with a reverse voltage rating of 45V or higher. If
the maximum transient input voltage is under 40V, use a
Schottky diode with a reverse voltage rating greater than
the maximum input voltage. Table 3 lists several Schottky
diodes and their manufacturers:

providing the boost supply to the BD pin. In this case the
voltage drop of the other switch will increase and lower the
efficiency. This could eventually cause the part to reach
the thermal shutdown limit. One other important feature
of the part that needs to be considered is that there is a
parasitic diode in parallel with the power switch. In normal
operation this is reverse biased but it could conduct if the
load can be powered from an alternate source when the
LT3509 has no input. This may occur in battery charging
applications or in battery backup systems where a battery or some other supply is diode OR-ed with one of the
LT3509 regulated outputs. If the SW pin is at more than
about 4V the VIN pin can attain sufficient voltage for LT3509
control circuitry to power-up to the quiescent bias level
and up to 2mA could be drawn from the backup supply.
This can be minimized if some discrete FETs or open drain
buffers are used to pull down the RUN/SS pins. Of course
the gates need to be driven from the standby or battery
backed supply. If there is the possibility of a short-circuit
at the input or just other parallel circuits connected to VIN
it would be best to add a protection diode in series with
VIN. This will also protect against a reversed input polarity.
These concepts are illustrated in Figure 12.

Hot Plugging Considerations
The small size, reliability and low impedance of ceramic
capacitors make them attractive for the input capacitor.
Unfortunately they can be hazardous to semiconductor
devices if combined with an inductive supply loop and a
fast power transition such as through a mechanical switch
or connector. The low-loss ceramic capacitor combined
with the just a small amount of wiring inductance forms
an underdamped resonant tank circuit and the voltage at
the VIN pin of the LT3509 can ring to twice the nominal
input voltage. See Linear Technology Application Note 88
for more details.
PCB Layout and Thermal Design
The PCB layout is critical to both the electrical and thermal
performance of the LT3509. Most important is the connection to the exposed pad which provides the main ground
connection and also a thermal path for cooling the chip.
This must be soldered to a topside copper plane which
is also tied to backside and/or internal plane(s) with an
array of thermal vias.
• The loop from the regulated outputs through the
output capacitor back to the ground plane. Excess
impedance here will result in excessive ripple at the
output.
The area of the SW and BOOST nodes should as small as
possible. Also the feedback components should be placed
as close as possible to the FB pins so that the traces are
short and shielded from the SW and BOOST nodes by the
ground planes.
Figure 13 shows a detail view of a practical board layout
showing just the top layer. The complete board is somewhat
larger at 7.5cm x 7.5cm. The device has been evaluated
on this board in still air running at 700kHz switching frequency. One channel was set to 5V and the other to 3.3V
and both channels were fully loaded to 700mA. The device
temperature reached approximately 15˚C above ambient
for input voltages below 12V. At 24V input it was slightly
higher at 17˚ above ambient.
To obtain the best electrical performance particular attention should be paid to keeping the following current
paths short:
• The loop from the VIN pin through the input capacitor back to the ground pad and plane. This sees high
di/dt transitions as the power switches turn on an
off. Excess impedance will degrade the minimum usable input voltage and could cause crosstalk between
channels.
• The loops from the switch pins to the catch diodes
and back to the DA pins. The fast changing currents
and voltage here combined with long PCB traces will
cause ringing on the switch pin and may result in
unwelcome EMI.
