• Manufacturer Part Number: sc483itstrt
• Description: Sc483 Dual Synchronous Buck Pseudo-fixed-frequency Power-supply Controller
• Manufacturer: Semtech Corporation

The layout can be considered in two parts, the control section referenced to VSSA1/2 and the power section.
Looking at the control section first, locate all components referenced to VSSA1/2 on the schematic and place
these components at the chip. Connect VSSA1 and VSSA2 using either a wide (>0.020”) trace. Very little current
flows in the chip ground therefore large areas of copper are not needed.
