LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Refer to figures 7 through 11 for guidance laying out
the IR3721. These guidelines also apply to resistive
current sensing. The following guidelines will
minimize sources of noise and error, which is
required because millivolt level signals correspond to
amps of inductor current.
1. Place the capacitor Ccs2 close to the VO and
2. Sense the inductor (or shunt) Kelvin style at its
3. Route signal VOUT back to the IC VK pin on its
4. Place the thermistor near the inductor. Refer to

VCS pins of the IR3721. Treat VO and VCS as a
differential signal pair back to the IC as shown in
the elliptical area designated #1 of figure 8.
terminals. Route the leads back as a differential
pair. Refer to area #2 of figure 8.
own dedicated trace. Refer to area #3 of figure 8.
area #4 of figure 8. Route the thermistor leads
back to the rest of the network using differential
traces. Mount the rest of the thermistor network
consisting of Rs, Rp, and R1 close to the IC.
