APPLICATIONS

(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
including the switch, catch diode, and input capacitor is

the only one containing nanosecond rise and fall times. If
you follow this path on the PC layout, you will see that it is
irreducibly short. If you move the diode or input capacitor
away from the LT1376, get your resumé in order. The
other paths contain only some combination of DC and
500kHz triwave, so are much less critical.
