Applications Information (continued)
Diode Selection
A Schottky diode with a reverse voltage of 40V and a
forward current rating of 1A should be used with this
device for optimum per formance. The Central
Semiconductor Corporation CMOSH-4E is a suitable diode
for this application.

PCB Layout Considerations
Poor layout can degrade the performance of the DC-DC
converter and can be a contributory factor in EMI prob-
lems, ground bounce, thermal issues, and resistive voltage
losses. Poor regulation and instability can result. A typical
layout is shown in Figure 3.
The following design rules are recommended:
•
•
•
Place the inductor and fi lter capacitors as close
to the device as possible and use short, wide
traces between the power components.
Route the output voltage feedback path away
from the inductor and LX node to minimize
noise and magnetic interference.
Use a ground plane to further reduce noise
interference on sensitive circuit nodes.
