Typically, there are two sources of noise emission in a
switching power supply: high di/dt loops and high dv/dt
surfaces. For example, traces that carry the drain cur-
rent often form high di/dt loops. Similarly, the heatsink
of the MOSFET connected to the device drain presents
a dv/dt source; therefore, minimize the surface area of
the heatsink as much as is compatible with the MOS-
FET power dissipation or shield it. Keep all PCB traces
carrying switching currents as short as possible to mini-
mize current loops. Use ground planes for best results.
Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve low switching
losses and clean, stable operation. Use a multilayer
board whenever possible for better noise immunity and
power dissipation. Follow these guidelines for good
PCB layout:
1) Use a large contiguous copper plane under the
2) Isolate the power components and high-current
3) Keep the high-current paths short, especially at the

to the drain of the MOSFET Q1.
