wire−wrap or plug−in prototype boards. High Frequency
circuit layout techniques are imperative to prevent pulse
width jitter. This is usually caused by excessive noise
pick−up imposed on the Current Sense or Voltage Feedback
inputs. Noise immunity can be improved by lowering circuit
impedances at these points. The printed circuit layout should
contain a ground plane with low−current signal and
high−current switch and output grounds returning on
separate paths back to the input filter capacitor. Ceramic

and V
This provides a low impedance path for filtering the high
frequency noise. All high current loops should be kept as
short as possible using heavy copper runs to minimize
radiated EMI. The Error Amp compensation circuitry and
the converter output voltage divider should be located close
to the IC and as far as possible from the power switch and
other noise generating components.

with continuous inductor current. This instability is
independent of the regulators closed−loop characteristics
and is caused by the simultaneous operating conditions of
fixed frequency and peak current detecting. Figure 20A
