Submit Document Feedback 10 FN7956.2 February 24, 2014 ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH Functional Description The ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH are monolithic, fixed frequency, current-mode synchronous buck regulators with user configurable power blocks. Two devices can be used to provide a total DC/DC solution for FPGAs, CPLDs, DSPs and CPUs. The ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH utilize peak current-mode control with integrated compensation and switches at a fixed frequency of 1MHz. Two devices can be synchronized 180° out-of-phase to reduce input RMS ripple current. These attributes reduce the number and size of external components required, while providing excellent output transient response. The internal synchronous power switches are optimized for high efficiency and good thermal performance. The chip features a comparator type enable input that provides flexibility. It can be used for simple digital on/off control or, alternately, can provide undervoltage lockout capability by using two external resistors to precisely sense the level of an external supply voltage. A power-good signal indicates when the output voltage is within ±11% typical of the nominal output voltage. Regulator start-up is controlled by an analog soft-start circuit, which can be adjusted from approximately 2ms to 200ms by using an external capacitor. The ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH incorporate fault protection for the regulator. The protection circuits include input undervoltage, output undervoltage, and output overcurrent. Power Blocks The power output stage of the regulator consists of six 1A capable power blocks that are paralleled to provide full 6A output current capability. The block diagram in Figure 5 shows a top level view of the individual power blocks. PVIN1 LX1 PGND1 POWER BLOCK 1 PVIN2 LX2 PGND2 POWER BLOCK 2 POWER BLOCK 5 PVIN5 LX5 PGND5 PVIN3 LX3 PGND3 POWER BLOCK 3 POWER BLOCK 4 PVIN4 LX4 PGND4 POWER BLOCK 6 PVIN6 LX6 PGND6 FIGURE 5. POWER BLOCK DIAGRAM Each power block has a power supply input pin, PVINx, a phase output pin, LXx, and a power supply ground pin, PGNDx. All PVINx pins must be connected to a common power supply rail and all PGNDx pins must be connected to a common ground. LXx pins should be connected to the output inductor based on the required load current, but must include the LX4 pin. For example, if 3A of output current is needed, any three LXx pins can be connected to the inductor as long as one of them is the LX4 pin. The unused LXx pins should be left unconnected. Connecting all six LXx pins to the output inductor provides a maximum 6A of output current. See the “Typical Application Schematic” on page 6 for pin connection guidance. Submit Document Feedback 11 A scaled pilot device associated with each power block provides current feedback. Power block 4 contains the master pilot device and this is why it must be connected to the output inductor. Main Control Loop During normal operation, the internal top power switch is turned on at the beginning of each clock cycle. Current in the output inductor ramps up until the current comparator trips and turns off the top power MOSFET. The bottom power MOSFET turns on and the inductor current ramps down for the rest of the cycle. The current comparator compares the output current at the ripple current peak to a current pilot. The error amplifier monitors VOUT and compares it with an internal reference voltage. The output voltage of the error amplifier drives a proportional current to the pilot. If VOUT is low, the current level of the pilot is increased and the trip off current level of the output is increased. The increased output current raises VOUT until it is in agreement with the reference voltage. Output Voltage Selection The output voltage can be adjusted using an external resistor divider as shown in Figure 6. VREF = 0.6V CREF = 220nF RT = 1k CC = 4.7nF L LXx OUT VOUT COUT RT ERROR AMPLIFIER FB + CC VREF REF RB CREF FIGURE 6. OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION RT should be selected as 1kto mitigate SEE. RT should be shunted by a 4.7nF ceramic capacitor, CC, to mitigate SEE and to improve loop stability margins. The REF pin should be bypassed to AGND with a 220nF ceramic capacitor to mitigate SEE. It should be noted that no current (sourcing or sinking) is available from the REF pin. RB can be determined from Equation 3. The designer can configure the output voltage from 0.8V to 85% of the input voltage. V REF R B = R T -------------------------------V –V OUT (EQ. 3) REF Switching Frequency/Synchronization The ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH feature an internal oscillator running at a fixed frequency of 1MHz ±15% over recommended operating conditions. The regulator can be configured to run from the internal oscillator or can be synchronized to another ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH or a SEE hardened external clock with a frequency range of 1MHz ±20%. To run the regulator from the internal oscillator, connect the M/S pin to DVDD. In this case, the output of the internal oscillator appears on the SYNC pin. To synchronize the regulator to the SYNC output of another regulator or to a SEE hardened external FN7956.2 February 24, 2014 ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH clock, connect the M/S pin to DGND. In this case, the SYNC pin is an input that accepts an external synchronizing signal. When synchronizing multiple devices, Slave regulators are synchronized 180° out-of-phase with respect to the SYNC output of a Master regulator or to an external clock. VR = 0.6V IEN = 11µA CEN = 10nF VIN1 PVINx Operation Initialization The ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH initialize based on the state of the power-on reset (POR) monitor of the PVINx inputs and the state of the EN input. Successful initialization prompts a soft-start interval, and the regulator begins slowly ramping the output voltage. Once the commanded output voltage is within the proper window of operation, the power-good signal changes state from low-to-high, indicating proper regulator operation. VIN2 ENABLE COMPARATOR R1 EN + - POR LOGIC CEN VR R2 IEN Power-On Reset The POR circuitry prevents the controller from attempting to soft-start before sufficient bias is present at the PVINx pins. The POR threshold of the PVINx pins is controlled by the PORSEL pin. For a nominal 5V supply voltage, PORSEL should be connected to DVDD. For a nominal 3.3V supply voltage, PORSEL should be connected to DGND. For nominal supply voltages between 5V and 3.3V, PORSEL should be connected to DGND. The POR rising and falling thresholds are shown in the “Electrical Specifications” table on Page 9. Hysteresis between the rising and falling thresholds ensures that small perturbations on PVINx seen during turn-on/turn-off of the regulator do not cause inadvertent turn-off/turn-on of the regulator. When the PVINx pins are below the POR rising threshold, the internal synchronous power MOSFET switches are turned off, and the LXx pins are held in a high-impedance state. FIGURE 7. ENABLE CIRCUIT With the part enabled and the IEN current sink off, the disable level is set by the resistor divider. The disable level is defined by Equation 5. R1 V DISABLE = V R 1 + ------R2 (EQ. 5) The difference between the enable and disable levels provide adjustable hysteresis so that noise on VIN2 does not interfere with the enabling or disabling of the regulator. To mitigate SEE, the EN pin should be bypassed to the AGND pin with a 10nF ceramic capacitor. Soft-Start Enable and Disable After the POR input requirement is met, the ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH remains in shutdown until the voltage at the enable input rises above the enable threshold. Figure 7 shows the enable circuit features a comparator type input. In addition to simple logic on/off control, the enable circuit allows the level of an external voltage to precisely gate the turn-on/turn-off of the regulator. An internal IEN current sink with a typical value of 11µA is only active when the voltage on the EN pin is below the enable threshold. The current sink pulls the EN pin low. As VIN2 rises, the enable level is not set exclusively by the resistor divider from VIN2. Once the POR and enable circuits are satisfied, the regulator initiates a soft-start. Figure 8 shows that the soft-start circuit clamps the error amplifier reference voltage to the voltage on an external soft-start capacitor connected to the SS pin. VREF = 0.6V ISS = 23µA RD = 2.2Ω RT FB (EQ. 4) RB ERROR AMPLIFIER With the current sink active, the enable level is defined by Equation 4.

SOFT-START CIRCUIT Submit Document Feedback 12 FN7956.2 February 24, 2014 ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH The soft-start capacitor is charged by an internal ISS current source. As the soft-start capacitor is charged, the output voltage slowly ramps to the set point determined by the reference voltage and the feedback network. Once the voltage on the SS pin is equal to the internal reference voltage, the soft-start interval is complete. The controlled ramp of the output voltage reduces the in-rush current during start-up. The soft-start output ramp interval is defined in Equation 6 and is adjustable from approximately 2ms to 200ms. The value of the soft-start capacitor, CSS, should range from 8.2nF to 8.2µF, inclusive. The peak in-rush current can be computed from Equation 7. The soft-start interval should be long enough to ensure that the peak in-rush current plus the peak output load current does not exceed the overcurrent trip level of the regulator. V REF t SS = C SS ------------I (EQ. 6) SS V OUT I INRUSH = C OUT ------------t (EQ. 7) SS The soft-start capacitor is immediately discharged by a 2.2 resistor whenever POR conditions are not met or EN is pulled low. The soft-start discharge time is equal to 256 clock cycles. Power-Good The power-good (PGOOD) pin is an open-drain logic output that indicates when the output voltage of the regulator is within regulation limits. The power-good pin pulls low during shutdown and remains low when the controller is enabled. After a successful soft-start, the PGOOD pin releases, and the voltage rises with an external pull-up resistor. The power-good signal transitions low immediately when the EN pin is pulled low. The power-good circuitry monitors the FB pin and compares it to the rising and falling thresholds shown in the “Electrical Specifications” table on Page 10. If the feedback voltage exceeds the typical rising limit of 111% of the reference voltage, the PGOOD pin pulls low. The PGOOD pin continues to pull low until the feedback voltage falls to a typical of 107.5% of the reference voltage. If the feedback voltage drops below a typical of 89% of the reference voltage, the PGOOD pin pulls low. The PGOOD pin continues to pull low until the feedback voltage rises to a typical 92.5% of the reference voltage. The PGOOD pin then releases and signals the return of the output voltage to within the power-good window. The PGOOD pin can be pulled up to any voltage from 0V to 5.5V, independently from the supply voltage. The pull-up resistor should have a nominal value from 1k to 10k. The PGOOD pin should be bypassed to DGND, with a 10nF ceramic capacitor to mitigate SEE. Fault Monitoring and Protection The ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH actively monitor output voltage and current to detect fault conditions. Fault conditions trigger protective measures to prevent damage to the regulator and external load device. Undervoltage Protection A hysteretic comparator monitors the FB pin of the regulator. The feedback voltage is compared to an undervoltage threshold that is a fixed percentage of the reference voltage. Once the Submit Document Feedback 13 comparator trips, indicating a valid undervoltage condition, a 3-bit undervoltage counter increments. The counter is reset if the feedback voltage rises back above the undervoltage threshold, plus a specified amount of hysteresis outlined in the “Electrical Specifications” table on Page 10. If the 3-bit counter overflows, the undervoltage protection logic shuts down the regulator. After the regulator shuts down, it enters a delay interval equivalent to the soft-start interval, which allows the device to cool. The undervoltage counter is reset when the device enters the delay interval. The protection logic initiates a normal soft-start once the delay interval ends. If the output successfully soft-starts, the power-good signal goes high, and normal operation continues. If undervoltage conditions continue to exist during the soft-start interval, the undervoltage counter must overflow before the regulator shuts down again. This hiccup mode continues indefinitely until the output soft-starts successfully. Overcurrent Protection A pilot device integrated into the PMOS transistor of Power Block 4 samples current each cycle. This current feedback is scaled and compared to an overcurrent threshold based on the number of power blocks connected. Each additional power block connected beyond Power Block 4 increases the overcurrent limit by 2A. For example, if three power blocks are connected, the typical current limit threshold would be 3 x 2A = 6A. If the sampled current exceeds the overcurrent threshold, a 3-bit overcurrent counter increments by one LSB. If the sampled current falls below the threshold before the counter overflows, the counter is reset. Once the overcurrent counter reaches 111, the regulator shuts down. After the regulator shuts down, it enters a delay interval, equivalent to the soft-start interval, which allows the device to cool. The overcurrent counter is reset when the device enters the delay interval. The protection logic initiates a normal soft-start once the delay interval ends. If the output successfully soft-starts, the power-good signal goes high, and normal operation continues. If overcurrent conditions continue to exist during the soft-start interval, the overcurrent counter must overflow before the regulator shuts down the output again. This hiccup mode continues indefinitely until the output soft-starts successfully. Note: To prevent severe negative ringing that can disturb the overcurrent counter, it is recommended that a Schottky diode of appropriate rating be added from the LXx pins to the PGNDx pins. Feedback Loop Compensation To reduce the number of external components and to simplify the process of determining compensation components, the ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH buck regulators have an internally compensated error amplifier. Due to the current loop feedback in peak current mode control, the modulator has a single pole response with -20dB slope at a frequency determined by the load (Equation 8): 1 F PO = ------------------------------------2 R O C OUT (EQ. 8) FN7956.2 February 24, 2014 ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH where RO is load resistance and COUT is the output load capacitance. For this type of modulator, a Type 2 compensation circuit is usually sufficient. Figure 9 shows a Type 2 amplifier and its response, along with the responses of the current mode modulator and the converter. C2 R2 C1 CONVERTER R1 The output inductor and the output capacitor bank together to form a low-pass filter responsible for smoothing the pulsating voltage at the phase node. The filter must also provide the transient energy until the regulator can respond. Since the filter has low bandwidth relative to the switching frequency, it limits the system transient response. The output capacitors must supply or sink current while the current in the output inductor increases or decreases to meet the load demand. OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION EA TYPE 2 EA The critical load parameters in choosing the output capacitors are the maximum size of the load step (DISTEP), the load-current slew rate (di/dt), and the maximum allowable output voltage deviation under transient loading (DVMAX). Capacitors are characterized according to their capacitance, Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL). GEA = 25.1dB MODULATOR FZ FPO FP FC At the beginning of a load transient, the output capacitors supply all of the transient current. The output voltage initially deviates by an amount approximated by the voltage drop across the ESL. As the load current increases, the voltage drop across the ESR increases linearly until the load current reaches its final value. Neglecting the contribution of inductor current and regulator response, the output voltage initially deviates by an amount shown in Equation 11. FIGURE 9. FEEDBACK LOOP COMPENSATION The Type 2 amplifier, in addition to the pole at origin, has a zero-pole pair that causes a flat gain region at frequencies between the zero and the pole (Equations 9 and 10). 1 F Z = ------------------------------ = 8.6kHz 2 R 2 C 1 (EQ. 9) 1 F P = ------------------------------ = 546kHz 2 R 1 C 2 (EQ. 10) Zero frequency and amplifier high-frequency gain were chosen to satisfy typical applications. The crossover frequency will appear at the point where the modulator attenuation equals the amplifier high frequency gain. The only task that the system designer has to complete is to specify the output filter capacitors to position the load main pole somewhere within one decade lower than the amplifier zero frequency. Equation 13 on page 13 approximates the amount of capacitance needed to achieve an optimal pole location depending on the number of LXx pins connected. With this type of compensation, plenty of phase margin is easily achieved due to zero-pole pair phase ‘boost’. Conditional stability may occur only when the main load pole is positioned too much to the left side on the frequency axis due to excessive output filter capacitance. In this case, the ESR zero placed within the 1.2kHz to 30kHz range gives some additional phase ‘boost’. Some phase boost is also be achieved by connecting the recommended capacitor CC in parallel with the upper resistor RT of the divider that sets the output voltage value, as demonstrated in Figure 6. Component Selection Guide This design guide is intended to provide a high-level explanation of the steps necessary to create a power converter. It is assumed the reader is familiar with many of the basic skills and techniques referenced in the following. In addition to this guide, Intersil provides a complete evaluation board that includes schematic, BOM, and an example PCB layout (see Ordering Information table on page 3). Submit Document Feedback Output Filter Design 14 di V MAX ESL ----- + ESR I STEP dt (EQ. 11) The filter capacitors selected must have sufficiently low ESL and ESR, such that the total output voltage deviation is less than the maximum allowable ripple. Most capacitor solutions rely on a mixture of high frequency capacitors with relatively low capacitance in combination with bulk capacitors having high capacitance but larger ESR. Minimizing the ESL of the high-frequency capacitors allows them to support the output voltage as the current increases. Minimizing the ESR of the bulk capacitors allows them to supply the increased current with less output voltage deviation. Ceramic capacitors with X7R dielectric are recommended. Alternately, a combination of low ESR solid tantalum capacitors and ceramic capacitors with X7R dielectric may be used. The ESR of the bulk capacitors is responsible for most of the output voltage ripple. As the bulk capacitors sink and source the inductor AC ripple current, a voltage, VP-P(MAX), develops across the bulk capacitor according to Equation 12. V IN – V OUT V OUT V P-P(MAX) = ESR ---------------------------------------------L OUT f s V IN (EQ. 12) Another consideration in selecting the output capacitors is loop stability. The total output capacitance sets the dominant pole of the PWM. Because the ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH use integrated compensation techniques, it is necessary to restrict the output capacitance in order to optimize loop stability. The recommended load capacitance can be estimated using Equation 13. 1.8V C OUT = 75F Number of LXx Pins Connected ------------V OUT (EQ. 13) FN7956.2 February 24, 2014 ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH 1 ESR = ---------------------------------------------2 f ZESR C OUT (EQ. 14) In conclusion, the output capacitors must meet three criteria: 1. They must have sufficient bulk capacitance to sustain the output voltage during a load transient while the output inductor current is slewing to the value of the load transient. 2. The ESR must be sufficiently low to meet the desired output voltage ripple due to the output inductor current. 3. The ESR zero should be placed, in a rather large range, to provide additional phase margin. OUTPUT INDUCTOR SELECTION Once the output capacitors are selected, the maximum allowable ripple voltage, VP-P(MAX), determines the lower limit on the inductance as shown in Equation 15. V IN – V OUT V OUT L OUT ESR -------------------------------------------------f s V IN V P-P(MAX) (EQ. 15) Since the output capacitors are supplying a decreasing portion of the load current while the regulator recovers from the transient, the capacitor voltage becomes slightly depleted. The output inductor must be capable of assuming the entire load current before the output voltage decreases more than VMAX. This places an upper limit on inductance. Equation 16 gives the upper limit on output inductance for the case when the trailing edge of the current transient causes a greater output voltage deviation than the leading edge. Equation 17 addresses the leading edge. Normally, the trailing edge dictates the inductance selection because duty cycles are usually <50%. Nevertheless, both inequalities should be evaluated, and inductance should be governed based on the lower of the two results. In each equation, LOUT is the output inductance, COUT is the total output capacitance, and IL(P-P) is the peak-to-peak ripple current in the output inductor. 2 C OUT V OUT L OUT --------------------------------------V MAX – I L(P-P) ESR I STEP 2 2 C OUT L OUT ------------------------- V MAX – I L(P-P) ESR V IN – V OUT I STEP 2 (EQ. 16) (EQ. 17) The other concern when selecting an output inductor is to ensure there is adequate slope compensation when the regulator is operated above 50% duty cycle. Since the internal slope compensation is fixed, output inductance should satisfy Equation 18 to ensure this requirement is met. 4.32H L OUT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Number of LXx Pins Connected Submit Document Feedback 15 (EQ. 18) Input Capacitor Selection Input capacitors are responsible for sourcing the AC component of the input current flowing into the switching power devices. Their RMS current capacity must be sufficient to handle the AC component of the current drawn by the switching power devices, which is related to duty cycle. The maximum RMS current required by the regulator is closely approximated by Equation 19. I RMS MAX = 2 V 2 1 V IN – V OUT V OUT OUT ---------------- I + ------ ---------------------------------- ----------------- 12 L V IN V f OUT MAX IN OUT s (EQ. 19) The important parameters to consider when selecting an input capacitor are the voltage rating and the RMS ripple current rating. For reliable operation, select capacitors with voltage ratings at least 1.5x greater than the maximum input voltage. The capacitor RMS ripple current rating should be higher than the largest RMS ripple current required by the circuit. Ceramic capacitors with X7R dielectric are recommended. Alternately, a combination of low ESR solid tantalum capacitors and ceramic capacitors with X7R dielectric may be used. The ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH require a minimum effective input capacitance of 100µF for stable operation. Derating Current Capability Most space programs issue specific derating guidelines for parts, but these guidelines take the pedigree of the part into account. For instance, a device built to MIL-PRF-38535, such as the ISL70001, is already heavily derated from a current density standpoint. However, a mil-temp or commercial IC that is up-screened for use in space applications may need additional current derating to ensure reliable operation because it was not built to the same standards as the ISL70001. Figure 10 shows the maximum average output current of the ISL70001 with respect to junction temperature. These plots take into account the worst-case current share mismatch in the power blocks and the current density requirement of MIL-PRF-38535 (< 2 x 105 A/cm2). The plot clearly shows that the ISL70001 can handle 12.1A at +125°C from a worst-case current density standpoint, but the part is limited to 7.8A because that is the lower limit of the current limit threshold with all six power blocks connected. MAXIMUM AVERAGE CURRENT FOR 0.1% FAILURES AT 100,000 HOURS (A) Another stability requirement on the selection of the output capacitor is that the ‘ESR zero’ (f ZESR) be placed at 60kHz to 90kHz. This range is set by an internal, single compensation zero at 8.6kHz. This ESR zero location contributes to increased phase margin of the control loop; therefore (Equation 14): 13 12 12.14 11 10.18 10 9 MINIMUM OCP LEVEL = 7.8A 8.57 8 7.25 7 6.16 6 5 4 120 5.3 6A @ +146°C 125 130 135 140 145 150 155 JUNCTION TEMPERATURE (°C) FIGURE 10. CURRENT vs TEMPERATURE FN7956.2 February 24, 2014 ISL70001SEH, ISL70001SRH PCB Design Thermal Management for Ceramic Package PCB design is critical to high-frequency switching regulator performance. Careful component placement and trace routing are necessary to reduce voltage spikes and minimize undesirable voltage drops. Selection of a suitable thermal interface material is also required for optimum heat dissipation and to provide lead strain relief. See Table 1 on page 18 for layout x-y coordinates. For optimum thermal performance, place a pattern of vias and a thermal land on the top layer of the PCB directly underneath the IC. Connect the vias to the plane, which serves as a heatsink. To ensure good thermal contact, thermal interface material such as a Sil-Pad or thermally conductive epoxy should be used to fill the gap between the vias and the bottom of the ceramic package. PCB Plane Allocation The package leads protrude from the bottom of the package and the leads need forming to provide strain relief. On the ceramic bottom package R48.A, the Sil-pad or epoxy maybe be used to fill the gap left between the PCB board and the bottom of the package when lead forming is completed. On the heat sink option of the package, R48.B, the lead forming should be made so that the bottom of the heat sink and the formed leads are flush. Four layers of 2-ounce copper are recommended. Layer 2 should be a dedicated ground plane with all critical component ground connections made with vias to this layer. Layer 3 should be a dedicated power plane split between the input and output power rails. Layers 1 and 4 should be used primarily for signals but can also provide additional power and ground islands, as required. PCB Component Placement Components should be placed as close as possible to the IC to minimize stray inductance and resistance. Prioritize the placement of bypass capacitors on the pins of the IC in the order shown: REF, SS, AVDD, DVDD, PVINx (high frequency capacitors), EN, PGOOD, PVINx (bulk capacitors). Locate the output voltage resistive divider as close as possible to the FB pin of the IC. The top leg of the divider should connect directly to the POL (Point of Load), and the bottom leg of the divider should connect directly to AGND. The junction of the resistive divider should connect directly to the FB pin. Locate a Schottky clamp diode as close as possible to the LXx and PGNDx pins of the IC. A small series R-C snubber connected from the LXx pins to the PGNDx pins may be used to damp high frequency ringing on the LXx pins, if desired, see Figure 11. LOUT LXx RS 3A VOUT COUT CS ERROR AMPLIFIER CC FB + RT PGNDx VREF Lead Strain Relief Heat Sink Mounting Guidelines The R48.B package option has a heat sink mounted on the underside of the package. The following JESD51-5 guidelines may be used to mount the package: 1. Place a thermal land on the PCB under the heat sink. 2. The land should be approximately the same size as to 1mm larger than the 9x9mm heat sink. 3. Place an array of thermal vias below the thermal land. - Via array size: ~8x8=64 thermal vias - Via diameter: ~0.3mm drill diameter with plated copper on the inside of each via. - Via pitch: ~1.2mm. - Vias should drop to and contact as much buried metal area as feasible to provide the best thermal relief. Heat Sink Electrical Potential The heat sink is electrically isolated and unbiased. The heatsink may be electrically connected to any potential, which offers the best thermal relief through conductive mounting materials (conductive epoxy, solder, etc.) or may be left unbiased through the use of electrically non-conductive mounting materials (non-conductive epoxy, Sil-pad, kapton film, etc.). RB REF CREF FIGURE 11. SCHOTTKY DIODE AND R-C SNUBBER PCB Layout Use a small island of copper to connect the LXx pins of the IC to the output inductor on Layers 1 and 4. To minimize capacitive coupling to the power and ground planes, void the copper on Layers 2 and 3 adjacent to the island. Place most of the island of Layer 4 to minimize the amount of copper that must be voided from the ground plane (Layer 2). Keep all other signal traces as short as possible. For an example layout, see AN1518.
