Layout Considerations
The layout is very important when designing high
frequency switching converters. Layout will affect
noise pickup and can cause a good design to
perform with less than expected results.
Make
components in the top layer with wide, copper
filled areas or polygons. In general, it is desirable
to make proper use of power planes and
polygons
dissipation.
The inductor, output capacitors and the IR3831W
should be as close to each other as possible.
This helps to reduce the EMI radiated by the
power traces due to the high switching currents
through them. Place the input capacitor directly at
the Vin pin of IR3831W.
The feedback part of the system should be kept
away from the inductor and other noise sources.
The
capacitors for Vcc should be close to their
respective pins. It is important to place the
feedback
resistors and compensation components close to
Fb and Comp pins.

The connection between the OCSet resistor and
the Sw pin should not share any trace with the
connection between the bootstrap capacitor and
the Sw pin. Instead, it is recommended to use a
Kelvin connection of the trace from the OCSet
resistor and the trace from the bootstrap
capacitor at the Sw pin.
In a multilayer PCB use one layer as a power
ground plane and have a control circuit ground
(analog ground), to which all signals are
referenced. The goal is to localize the high
current path to a separate loop that does not
interfere with the more sensitive analog control
function. These two grounds must be connected
together on the PC board layout at a single point.
The Power QFN is a thermally enhanced
package. Based on thermal performance it is
recommended to use at least a 4-layers PCB. To
effectively remove heat from the device the
exposed pad should be connected to the ground
plane using vias. Figure 26 illustrates the
implementation of the layout guidelines outlined
above, on a 4 layer board.
