Schottky Diode Placement
The Schottky diode is in the path of the inductor current dis-
charge. As a result the Schottky diode sees a high current
step from 0 to I
diode turns on. Any inductance in series with the diode will
cause a voltage spike (V
which can potentially over-voltage the SW pin, or feed through
to V
necting the anode of the diode as close as possible to the SW
pin and the cathode of the diode as close as possible to C
+ will reduce the inductance (L
spikes (see
Inductor Placement
The node where the inductor connects to the LM3530’s SW
bump has 2 issues. First, a large switched voltage (0 to
V
cycle. This switched voltage can be capacitively coupled into
nearby nodes. Second, there is a relatively large current (in-
put current) on the traces connecting the input supply to the
inductor and connecting the inductor to the SW bump. Any
resistance in this path can cause large voltage drops that will
negatively affect efficiency.
To reduce the capacitively coupled signal from SW into near-
by traces, the SW bump to inductor connection must be
minimized in area. This limits the PCB capacitance from SW
to other traces. Additionally, the other traces need to be rout-
ed away from SW and not directly beneath. This is especially
true for high impedance nodes that are more susceptible to
capacitive coupling such as (SCL, SDA, HWEN, PWM, and
possibly ASL1 and ALS2). A GND plane placed directly below
SW will dramatically reduce the capacitance from SW into
nearby traces
To limit the trace resistance of the VBATT to inductor con-
nection and from the inductor to SW connection, use short,
wide traces (see
Input Capacitor Selection and Placement
The input bypass capacitor filters the inductor current ripple,
and the internal MOSFET driver currents during turn on of the
power switch.
The driver current requirement can range from 50mA at 2.7V
to over 200mA at 5.5V with fast durations of approximately
10ns to 20ns. This will appear as high di/dt current pulses

Close placement of the input capacitor to the IN pin and to the
GND pin is critical since any series inductance between IN
and C
could appear on the V
Close placement of the input bypass capacitor at the input
side of the inductor is also critical. The source impedance (in-
ductance and resistance) from the input supply, along with the
input capacitor of the LM3530, form a series RLC circuit. If the
output resistance from the source (R
cuit will be underdamped and will have a resonant frequency
(typically the case). Depending on the size of L
frequency could occur below, close to, or above the LM3530's
switching frequency. This can cause the supply current ripple
to be:

3.
Equation 1is the criteria for an underdamped response. Equa-
tion 2 is the resonant frequency. Equation 3 is the approxi-
mated supply current ripple as a function of L
As an example, consider a 3.6V supply with 0.1Ω of series
resistance connected to C
traces. This results in an underdamped input filter circuit with
a resonant frequency of 712kHz. Since the switching fre-
quency lies near to the resonant frequency of the input RLC
network, the supply current is probably larger then the induc-
tor current ripple. In this case using equation 3 from

the resonant frequency occurs well above the LM3530's
switching frequency;

resonant frequency occurs near the switching frequency;
