Figure 29. PC Board Layout

Layout is very important in switching regulator designs. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring

inductance can generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For minimal inductance and ground

loops, the wires indicated by heavy lines (in Figure 22 and Figure 23) should be wide printed circuit traces

and should be kept as short as possible. For best results, external components should be located as close to

the switcher IC as possible using ground plane construction or single point grounding.

If open core inductors are used, special care must be taken as to the location and positioning of this type of

problems.

When using the adjustable version, special care must be taken as to the location of the feedback resistors and

the associated wiring. Physically locate both resistors near the IC, and route the wiring away from the inductor,

especially an open core type of inductor.
