Table 2. Component Values and Suppliers
A good layout is essential for clean, stable operation.
The layouts and component placement diagrams given
in Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7 have been successfully tested
over a wide range of operating conditions. Note that the
1µF bypass capacitor (C2) must be positioned as close
to the V+ and GND pins as possible. Also, place the out-
put capacitor as close to the OUT and GND pins as pos-
sible. The traces connecting the input and output filter
capacitors and the catch diode must be short to mini-
mize inductance and capacitance. For this reason, avoid
using sockets, and solder the IC directly to the PC
board. Use an uninterrupted ground plane if possible.

A simple lowpass pi-filter (Figure 3) can be added to
the output to reduce output ripple to about 5mVp-p.
The cutoff frequency shown is 21kHz. Since the filter
inductor is in series with the circuit output, its resis-
tance should be minimized so the voltage drop across
it is not excessive.
