The FAN73933 has a negative V
curve, as shown in Figure 43.
Even though the FAN73933 has been shown able to
handle these negative V
strongly recommended that the circuit designer limit the
negative V
PCB layout to minimize the value of parasitic elements
and component use. The amplitude of negative V
age is proportional to the parasitic inductances and the
turn-off speed, di/dt, of the switching device.
General Guidelines
Printed Circuit Board Layout
The layout recommended for minimized parasitic ele-
ments is as follows:
Direct tracks between switches with no loops or devia-
tion.
Avoid interconnect links. These can add significant
inductance.
Reduce the effect of lead-inductance by lowering
package height above the PCB.
Consider co-locating both power switches to reduce
track length.
To minimize noise coupling, the ground plane should
not be placed under or near the high-voltage floating
side.
To reduce the EM coupling and improve the power
switch turn-on/off performance, the gate drive loops
must be reduced as much as possible.

Placement of Components
The recommended selection of component is as follows:
It is stongly recommended that the placement of compo-
nents is as follows:
Place a bypass capacitor between the V
pins. A ceramic 1µF capacitor is suitable for most
applications. This component should be placed as
close as possible to the pins to reduce parasitic ele-
ments.
The bypass capacitor from V
the low-side driver and bootstrap capacitor recharge.
A value at least ten times higher than the bootstrap
capacitor is recommended.
The bootstrap resistor, R
sizing the bootstrap resistance and the current devel-
oped during initial bootstrap charge. If the resistor is
needed in series with the bootstrap diode, verify that
V
use is typically 5 ~ 10Ω, which increases the V
constant. If the votage drop of the bootstrap resistor
and diode is too high or the circuit topology does not
allow a sufficient charging time, a fast recovery or
ultra-fast recovery diode can be used.
The bootstrap capacitor, C
capacitor, such as a ceramic capacitor.
Place components tied to the floating voltage pins (V
and V
the device and the FAN73933. NC (not connected)
pins in this package maximize the distance between
the high-voltage and low-voltage pins (see Figure 3.).
Place and route for bypass capacitors and gate resis-
tors as close as possible to gate drive IC.

for fast recovery or ultra-fast diode.
