PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Since the FAN5018B turns off all of the phases (switches
inductors to ground), there is no ripple voltage present
during load release. Thus, you do not have to add headroom
for ripple, allowing your load release V
than V
V
this implies that capacitors can be removed. When removing
capacitors, check the output ripple voltage as well to ensure
it is still within spec.
Layout and Component Placement
The following guidelines are recommended for optimal
performance of a switching regulator in a PC system.
Key layout issues are illustrated in Figure 11.

Power Circuitry
• Route the switching power path on the PCB to encompass
recommended. This should allow the needed versatility
for control circuitry interconnections with optimal
placement, power planes for ground, input, and output
power, and wide interconnection traces in the rest of the
power delivery current paths. Keep in mind that each

parallel current paths so that the resistance and inductance
introduced by these current paths is minimized and the via

microprocessor core). If the load is distributed, the
capacitors should also be distributed, and generally in
proportion to where the load tends to be more dynamic.
the shortest possible length in order to minimize radiated
switching noise energy (i.e., EMI) and conduction losses
in the board. Failure to take proper precautions often
results in EMI problems for the entire PC system as well
as noise related operational problems in the power
converter control circuitry. The switching power path is
the loop formed by the current path through the input
capacitors and the power MOSFETs including all
interconnecting PCB traces and planes. The use of short
and wide interconnection traces is especially critical in
this path for two reasons: it minimizes the inductance in
the switching loop, which can cause high-energy ringing,
and it accommodates the high current demand with
minimal voltage loss. Avoid crossing any signal lines over
the switching power path loop, described below.
