VIN and GND traces must be as wide as possible to
reduce trace impedance. The wide areas are also of advantage from the view point
of heat dissipation.
The input capacitor and output capacitor must be
placed as close to the device as possible to minimize trace impedance.
Provide sufficient vias for the input capacitor and output capacitor.
Keep the SW trace as physically short and wide as practical to minimize radiated emissions.
Do not allow switching current to flow under the device.
A separate VOUT path must be connected to the
upper feedback resistor.
Make a Kelvin connection to the GND pin for the feedback path.
Voltage feedback loop must be placed away from
the high-voltage switching trace, and preferably has ground shield.
The trace of the VFB node must be as small as
possible to avoid noise coupling.
The GND trace between the output capacitor and
the GND pin must be as wide as possible to minimize the trace impedance.
