Test Circuit and Layout Guidelines
As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. Rap-
idly switching currents associated with wiring inductance
generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For
minimal inductance and ground loops, the length of the leads
indicated by heavy lines should be kept as short as possible.

Single-point grounding (as indicated) or ground plane con-
struction should be used for best results. When using the Ad-
justable version, physically locate the programming resistors
near the regulator, to keep the sensitive feedback wiring
short.
