10.1.2 Bypass Capacitor

The VDD power terminal of the LMG1025-Q1 must by bypassed to ground immediately adjacent to the IC. The placement and value of the bypass capacitor is very critical because of the fast gate drive of the IC, . The bypass capacitor must be located on the top layer, as close as possible to the IC, and connected to both VDD and GND using large power planes. This bypass capacitor has to be at least a 0.1 µF, up to 1 µF, with temperature coeffient X7R or better. Recommended body types are LICC, IDC, Feed-though, and LGA. Finally, an additional 1μF capacitor should be placed as close to the IC as practical.
