11.1 Layout Guidelines

There are several things to keep in mind during layout of the TPS23525 circuit:

● The VEE and SNS pin need to have a Kelvin Sense connection to the sense resistor.

● The VEE trace carries current and needs to be thick and short in order to minimize IR drop and to avoid introducing current sensing error.

● It is recommended to use a net-tie to separate the power plane coming into the R_SNS and the Kelvin connection to VEE.

● Connect the Neg48Vx filtering caps, UVEN resistor divider, OV resistor divider, and TMR cap to the "VEE" to insure maximum accuracy.

● The filtering caps on Neg48VB, Neg48VA, and SNS should be placed as close to the IC as possible.
