GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The ADP3162 also uses a unique supplemental regulation tech-  
nique called active voltage positioning to enhance load transient  
performance. Active voltage positioning results in a dc/dc converter  
that meets the stringent output voltage specifications for high  
performance processors, with the minimum number of output  
capacitors and smallest footprint. Unlike voltage-mode and  
standard current-mode architectures, active voltage positioning  
adjusts the output voltage as a function of the load current so  
that it is always optimally positioned for a system transient. The  
ADP3162 also provides accurate and reliable short circuit pro-  
tection and adjustable current limiting.  
The ADP3162 is a highly efficient dual output synchronous  
buck switching regulator controller optimized for converting a  
5 V or 12 V main supply into the core supply voltage required by  
high-performance processors such as Tualatin. The ADP3162  
uses an internal 5-bit DAC to read a voltage identification (VID)  
code directly from the processor, which is used to set the output  
voltage between 1.05 V and 1.825 V. The ADP3162 uses a  
current mode PWM architecture to drive two logic-level outputs  
at a programmable switching frequency that can be optimized  
for VRM size and efficiency. The output signals are 180 degrees  
out of phase, allowing for the construction of two complementary  
buck switching stages. These two stages share the dc output  
current to reduce overall output voltage ripple. An active cur-  
rent balancing function ensures that both phases carry equal  
portions of the total load current, even under large transient  
loads, to minimize the size of the inductors.  
The ADP3162 is specified over the commercial temperature  
range of 0°C to 70°C and is available in a 16-lead narrow body  
SOIC package.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
ADP3162  
The ADP3162 combines a current-mode, fixed frequency PWM  
controller with antiphase logic outputs in a controller for a two-  
phase synchronous buck power converter. Two-phase operation  
is important for switching the high currents required by high  
performance microprocessors. Handling the high current in a  
single-phase converter would place difficult requirements on the  
power components such as inductor wire size, MOSFET ON-  
resistance and thermal dissipation. The ADP3162’s high side  
current sensing topology ensures that the load currents are bal-  
anced in each phase, such that neither phase has to carry more  
than half of the power. An additional benefit of high side current  
sensing over output current sensing is that the average current  
through the sense resistor is reduced by the duty cycle of the  
converter allowing the use of a lower power, lower cost resistor.  
The outputs of the ADP3162 are logic drivers only and are  
not intended to directly drive external power MOSFETs.  
Instead, the ADP3162 should be paired with drivers such as  
the ADP3412, ADP3413, or ADP3414.

Table I. Output Voltage vs. VID Code  
The frequency of the ADP3162 is set by an external capacitor  
connected to the CT pin. Each output phase of the ADP3162  
operates at half of the frequency set by the CT pin. The error  
amplifier and current sense comparator control the duty cycle of  
the PWM outputs to maintain regulation. The maximum duty  
cycle per phase is inherently limited to 50% because the PWM  
outputs toggle in two-phase operation. While one phase is on,  
the other phase is off. In no case can both outputs be high at the  
same time.

Output Voltage Sensing  
The output voltage is sensed at the FB pin allowing for remote  
sensing. To maintain the accuracy of the remote sensing, the  
GND pin should also be connected close to the load. A voltage  
error amplifier (gm) amplifies the difference between the output  
voltage and a programmable reference voltage. The reference  
voltage is programmed between 1.05 V and 1.825 V by an internal  
5-bit DAC, which reads the code at the voltage identification  
(VID) pins. (Refer to Table I for the output voltage versus VID pin  
code information.)  
Active Voltage Positioning  
The ADP3162 uses Analog Devices Optimal Positioning Tech-  
nology (ADOPT), a unique supplemental regulation technique  
that uses active voltage positioning and provides optimal com-  
pensation for load transients. When implemented, ADOPT adjusts  
the output voltage as a function of the load current, so that it is  
always optimally positioned for a load transient. Standard (passive)  
voltage positioning has poor dynamic performance, rendering  
it ineffective under the stringent repetitive transient conditions  
required by high performance processors. ADOPT, however,  
provides optimal bandwidth for transient response that yields  
optimal load transient response with the minimum number of  
output capacitors.  
Reference Output  
A 3.0 V reference is available on the ADP3162. This reference  
is normally used to set the voltage positioning accurately using a  
resistor divider to the COMP pin. In addition, the reference can  
be used for other functions such as generating a regulated voltage  
with an external amplifier. The reference is bypassed with a 1 nF  
capacitor to ground. It is not intended to supply current to large  
capacitive loads, and it should not be used to provide more than  
1 mA of output current.  
REV. A  
–5–  
ADP3162  
Cycle-by-Cycle Operation  
If for some reason one of the phases fails, the other phase will still  
be limited to its maximum output current (one-half of the short  
circuit current limit). If this is not sufficient to supply the load,  
the output voltage will droop and cause the PWRGD output to  
signal that the output voltage has fallen out of its specified range.  
During normal operation (when the output voltage is regulated),  
the voltage-error amplifier and the current comparator are the  
main control elements. The voltage at the CT pin of the oscilla-  
tor ramps between 0 V and 3 V. When that voltage reaches 3 V,  
the oscillator sets the driver logic, which sets PWM1 high. Dur-  
ing the ON time of Phase 1, the driver IC turns on the high-side  
MOSFET. The CS+ and CS– pins monitor the current through  
the sense resistor that feeds both high-side MOSFETs. When  
the voltage between the two pins exceeds the threshold level  
set by the voltage error amplifier (gm), the driver logic is reset  
and the PWM output goes low. This signals the driver IC to turn  
off the high-side MOSFET and turn on the low-side MOSFET.  
On the next cycle of the oscillator, the driver logic toggles and  
sets PWM2 high. On each following cycle of the oscillator, the  
outputs toggle between PWM1 and PWM2. In each case, the  
current comparator resets the PWM output low when the current  
comparator threshold is reached. As the load current increases,  
the output voltage starts to decrease. This causes an increase in  
the output of the gm amplifier, which in turn leads to an increase  
in the current comparator threshold, thus programming more  
current to be delivered to the output so that voltage regulation is  
maintained.  
Short Circuit Protection  
The ADP3162 has multiple levels of short circuit protection to  
ensure fail-safe operation. The sense resistor and the maximum  
current sense threshold voltage given in the specifications set the  
peak current limit.  
When the load current exceeds the current limit, the excess current  
discharges the output capacitor. When the output voltage is below  
the foldback threshold VFB(LOW), the maximum deliverable output  
current is cut by reducing the current sense threshold from the  
current limit threshold, VCS(CL), to the foldback threshold,  
VCS(FOLD). Along with the resulting current foldback, the oscilla-  
tor frequency is reduced by a factor of five when the output is  
0 V. This further reduces the average current in short circuit.  
Power-Good Monitoring  
The Power-Good comparator monitors the output voltage of the  
supply via the FB pin. The PWRGD pin is an open drain output  
whose high level (when connected to a pull-up resistor) indi-  
cates that the output voltage is within the specified range of  
the nominal output voltage requested by the VID DAC. PWRGD  
will go low if the output is outside this range.  
Active Current Sharing  
The ADP3162 ensures current balance in the two phases by  
actively sensing the current through a single sense resistor. During  
one phase’s ON time, the current through the respective high-side  
MOSFET and inductor is measured through the sense resistor  
(R4 in Figure 2). When the comparator (CMP1 in the Functional  
Block Diagram) threshold programmed by the gm amplifier is  
reached, the high-side MOSFET turns off. In the next cycle the  
ADP3162 switches to the second phase. The current is measured  
with the same sense resistor and the same internal comparator,  
ensuring accurate matching. This scheme is immune to imbalances  
in the MOSFETs’ RDS(ON) and inductors’ parasitic resistances.  
Output Crowbar  
The ADP3162 includes a crowbar comparator that senses when  
the output voltage rises higher than the specified trip thresh-  
old, VCROWBAR. This comparator overrides the control loop and  
sets both PWM outputs low. The driver ICs turn off the high side  
MOSFETs and turn on the low-side MOSFETs, thus pulling the  
output down as the reversed current builds up in the inductors. If  
the output overvoltage is due to a short of the high side MOSFET,  
this action will current limit the input supply or blow its fuse,

the cause of the overvoltage failure does not persist.

(1)  
The ADP3162 includes an output disable function that turns off  
the control loop to bring the output voltage to 0 V. Because an  
extra pin is not available, the disable feature is accomplished by  
pulling the COMP pin to ground. When the COMP pin drops  
below 0.64 V, the oscillator stops and both PWM signals are  
driven low. This function does not place the part in a low quiescent  
current shutdown state, and the reference voltage is still available.  
The COMP pin should be pulled down with an open collector  
or open drain type of output capable of sinking at least 2 mA.  
For 7 A peak-to-peak ripple current, which is 50% of the 14 A  
full-load dc current in an inductor, Equation 1 yields an induc-  
tance of:  
(5V – 1.8V )×1.8V  
5V ×(400 kHz/2) × 7 A  
L =  
= 823 nH  
A 1 µH inductor can be used, which gives a calculated ripple  
current of 5.8 A at no load. The inductor should not saturate at  
the peak current of 20 A and should be able to handle the sum  
of the power dissipation caused by the average current of 15 A  
in the winding and the core loss.  
APPLICATION INFORMATION  
A VRM 8.5-Compliant Design Example  
The design parameters for a typical high-performance Intel  
Tualatin CPU application designed to meet Intel’s VRM 8.5  
specification are as follows:  
The output ripple current is smaller than the inductor ripple  
current due to the two phases partially canceling. This can be  
calculated as follows:  
Input voltage (VIN) = 5 V  
VID setting voltage (VOUT) = 1.8 V  
Nominal output voltage at no load (VONL) = 1.845 V  
Nominal output voltage at full load (VOFL) = 1.755 V  
Static output voltage drop based on a 3.2 mload line  
(ROUT) from no load to full load (V) = (VONL) – (VOFL) =

Designing an Inductor  
CT Selection—Choosing the Clock Frequency  
Once the inductance is known, the next step is either to design an  
inductor or find a standard inductor that comes as close as possible  
to meeting the overall design goals. The first decision in design-  
ing the inductor is to choose the core material. There are several  
possibilities for providing low core loss at high frequencies. Two  
The ADP3162 uses a fixed-frequency control architecture that is  
set by an external timing capacitor, CT. The value of CT for a given  
clock frequency can be selected using the graph in TPC 1.  
The clock frequency determines the switching frequency, which  
relates directly to switching losses and the sizes of the inductors  
and input and output capacitors. A clock frequency of 400 kHz  
sets the switching frequency of each phase, fSW, to 200 kHz,  
which represents a practical trade-off between the switching  
losses and the sizes of the output filter components. From TPC  
1, for 400 kHz the required timing capacitor value is 150 pF. For  
good frequency stability and initial accuracy, it is recommended to  
use a capacitor with low temperature coefficient and tight toler-  
ance, e.g., an MLC capacitor with NPO dielectric and with 5%  
or less tolerance.  
®
examples are the powder cores (e.g., Kool-Mµ from Magnetics)  
and the gapped soft ferrite cores (e.g., 3F3 or 3F4 from Philips).  
Low frequency powdered iron cores should be avoided due to  
their high core loss, especially when the inductor value is relatively  
low and the ripple current is high.  
Two main core types can be used in this application. Open  
magnetic loop types, such as beads, beads on leads, and rods  
and slugs, provide lower cost but do not have a focused mag-  
netic field in the core. The radiated EMI from the distributed  
magnetic field may create problems with noise interference in  
the circuitry surrounding the inductor. Closed-loop types, such  
as pot cores, PQ, U, and E cores, or toroids, cost more, but  
have much better EMI/RFI performance. A good compromise  
between price and performance are cores with a toroidal shape.  
Inductance Selection  
The choice of inductance determines the ripple current in the  
inductor. Less inductance leads to more ripple current, which  
increases the output ripple voltage and the conduction losses in  
the MOSFETs, but allows using smaller-size inductors and, for  
a specified peak-to-peak transient deviation, output capacitors  
with less total capacitance. Conversely, a higher inductance  
means lower ripple current and reduced conduction losses, but  
requires larger-size inductors and more output capacitance for  
the same peak-to-peak transient deviation. In a two-phase con-  
verter a practical value for the peak-to-peak inductor ripple  
current is under 50% of the dc current in the same inductor.  
With that choice, in this design example, under 50% ripple  
current per inductor yields a total peak-to-peak output ripple cur-  
rent of about 20% of the total dc output current. The following  
There are many useful references for quickly designing a power  
inductor. Table II gives some examples.

The value of RSENSE is based on the required maximum output  
current. The current comparator of the ADP3162 has a mini-  
mum current limit threshold of 69 mV. Note that the 69 mV  
value cannot be used for the maximum specified nominal cur-  
rent, as headroom is needed for ripple current and tolerances.

where nI is the division ratio from the output voltage signal of  
the gm amplifier to the PWM comparator CMP1, gm is the  
transconductance of the gm amplifier itself, and the factor of 2  
The current comparator threshold sets the peak of the inductor  
current yielding a maximum output current, IO, which equals  
twice the peak inductor current value less half of the peak-to-  
peak inductor ripple current. From this the maximum value of  
RSENSE is calculated as:  
is the result of the two-phase configuration.  
Output Offset  
Intel’s VRM 8.5 specification requires that at no load the output  
voltage of the regulator module be offset to a higher value than  
the nominal voltage corresponding to the VID code. The offset  
is introduced by realizing the total termination resistance of the  
gm amplifier with a divider connected between the REF pin and  
ground. The resistive divider introduces an offset to the output  
of the gm amplifier that, when reflected back through the gain  
of the gm stage, accurately positions the output voltage near its  
allowed maximum at light load. Furthermore, the output of the  
gm amplifier sets the current sense threshold voltage. At no  
load, the current sense threshold is increased by the peak of the  
ripple current in the inductor and reduced by the delay between  
sensing when the current threshold has been reached and when  
the high side MOSFET actually turns off. These two factors are  
combined with the inherent voltage (VGNL0), at the output of the  
gm amplifier that commands a current sense threshold of 0 mV:

The optimal implementation of voltage positioning, ADOPT,  
will create an output impedance of the power converter that is  
entirely resistive over the widest possible frequency range—  
including dc—and equal to the specified dc output resistance.  
With the wide-band resistive output impedance the output  
voltage will droop in proportion with the load current at any  
load current slew rate; this ensures the optimal positioning and  
allows the minimization of the output capacitor.

Choosing the nearest 1% resistor gives RB = 19.1 k. Finally,  
RA is calculated:  
With an ideal current-mode controlled converter, where the  
inductor current would respond without delay to the command  
signal, the resistive output impedance could be achieved by having  
a single-pole roll-off of the voltage gain of the voltage-error  
amplifier. The pole frequency must coincide with the ESR zero  
of the output capacitor. The ADP3162 uses constant-frequency  
peak-current control, which is known to have a nonideal, frequency  
dependent command-signal-to-inductor-current transfer func-  
tion. The frequency dependence manifests in the form of a pair  
of complex conjugate poles at one-half of the switching frequency.  
A purely resistive output impedance could be achieved by can-  
celing the complex conjugate with zeros at the same complex  
frequencies and adding a third pole equal to the ESR zero of the  
output capacitor. Such a compensating network would be quite  
complicated. Fortunately, in practice it is sufficient to cancel the  
pair of complex conjugate poles with a single real zero placed at  
one-half of the switching frequency. Although the end result is  
not a perfectly resistive output impedance, the remaining fre-  
quency dependence causes only a few percentage of deviation  
from the ideal resistive response. The single-pole and single-zero  
compensation can be easily implemented by terminating the gm  
error amplifier with the parallel combination of a resistor (RT)  
and a series RC network. The value of the terminating resistor  
RT was determined previously; the capacitance and resistance of  
the series RC network are calculated as follows:

COUT Selection  
The required equivalent series resistance (ESR) and capacitance  
drive the selection of the type and quantity of the output capaci-  
tors. The ESR of the output filter capacitor bank must be equal  
to or less than the specified output resistance (3.2 m) of the  
voltage regulator. The capacitance must be large enough that  
the voltage across the capacitor, which is the sum of the resistive  
and capacitive voltage drops, does not moves below or above the  
initial resistive step while the inductor current ramps up or  
down to the value corresponding to the new load current.  
One can use, for example, four SP-Type OS-CON capacitors  
from Sanyo, with 820 µF capacitance, a 4 V voltage rating,  
and 12 mESR. The four capacitors have a maximum total  
ESR of 3 mwhen connected in parallel. Another possibility is  
the ZA series from Rubycon. The trade-off is size versus cost.  
Eight 1000 µF capacitors would give an ESR of 3 m. These  
eight capacitors take up more space than four OS-CON capaci-  
tors, but are significantly less expensive.  
As long as the capacitance of the output capacitor is above a  
critical value and the regulating loop is compensated with  
Analog Devices’ proprietary compensation technique, ADOPT,  
the actual value has no influence on the peak-to-peak deviation  
of the output voltage to a full step change in the load current.  
The critical capacitance can be calculated as follows:

The equivalent capacitance of the four OS-CON capacitors is

eight ZA series Rubycon capacitors is 8 mF. With both choices,  
the total capacitance is safely above the critical value.  
The nearest standard 5% resistor value is 470 . Note that this  
resistor is only required when COUT approaches CCRIT (within  
25% or less). In this example COUT >> CCRIT, and RZ can there-  
fore be omitted.  
Feedback Loop Compensation Design for ADOPT  
Power MOSFETs  
Optimized compensation of the ADP3162 allows the best pos-  
sible containment of the peak-to-peak output voltage deviation.  
The output current slew rate of any practical switching power  
converter is inherently limited by the inductor to a value much  
less than the slew rate of the load. Therefore, any sudden change of  
load current will initially flow through the output capacitors,  
and assuming that the capacitance of the output capacitor is  
In the standard two-phase application two pairs of N-channel  
power MOSFETs must be used with the ADP3162 and ADP3412,  
one pair as the main (control) switches, and the other pair as  
the synchronous rectifier switches. The main selection parameters  
for the power MOSFETs are VGS(TH) and RDS(ON). The mini-  
mum gate drive voltage (the supply voltage to the ADP3412)

dictates whether standard threshold or logic-level threshold  
MOSFETs must be used. Since VGATE < 8 V, logic-level threshold  
MOSFETs (VGS(TH) < 2.5 V) are strongly recommended.  
where the second term represents the turn-off loss of the  
MOSFET and the third term represents the turn-on loss due to  
the stored charge in the body diode of the low-side MOSFET.  
(In the second term, QG is the gate charge to be removed from  
the gate for turn-off and IG is the gate turn-off current. From the  
data sheet, for the IRL3803 the value of QG is about 140 nC  
and the peak gate drive current (IG) provided by the ADP3412  
is about 1 A. In the third term Qrr is the charge stored in the  
body diode of the low-side MOSFET at the valley of the induc-  
tor current. The data sheet of the IRL3803 gives 450 nC for the  
stored charge at 71 A. That value corresponds to a stored charge of  
80 nC at the valley of the inductor current. In both terms fSW is  
the actual switching frequency of the MOSFETs, or 200 kHz.  
The maximum output current IO determines the RDS(ON) require-  
ment for the power MOSFETs. When the ADP3162 is operating  
in continuous mode, the simplifying assumption can be made  
that in each phase one of the two MOSFETs is always conduct-  
ing the average inductor current. For VIN = 12 V and VOUT  
1.7 V, the duty ratio of the high-side MOSFET is:

Substituting the above data in Equation 23 and using the worst-  
case value for the MOSFET resistance yields a conduction loss  
of 0.7 W, a turn-off loss of 1.2 W, and a turn-on loss of 0.08 W.  
Thus the worst-case total loss in a high-side MOSFET is 1.98 W.

Note that the capacitor manufacturer’s ripple current ratings are  
often based on only 2000 hours of life. This makes it advisable  
to further derate the capacitor, or to choose a capacitor rated at  
a higher temperature than required. Several capacitors may be  
placed in parallel to meet size or height requirements in the  
design. In this example, the input capacitor bank is formed by  
four 1000 µF, 16 V Rubycon capacitors.

PC system as well as noise-related operational problems in  
the power converter control circuitry. The switching power  
path is the loop formed by the current path through the  
input capacitors, the power MOSFETs, and the power  
Schottky diode, if used (see next), including all intercon-  
necting PCB traces and planes. The use of short and wide  
interconnection traces is especially critical in this path for two  
reasons: it minimizes the inductance in the switching loop,  
which can cause high-energy ringing, and it accommodates  
the high current demand with minimal voltage loss.  
LAYOUT AND COMPONENT PLACEMENT GUIDELINES  
The following guidelines are recommended for optimal perfor-  
mance of a switching regulator in a PC system.  
General Recommendations  
1. For good results, at least a four-layer PCB is recommended.  
This should allow the needed versatility for control circuitry  
interconnections with optimal placement, a signal ground  
plane, power planes for both power ground and the input  
power (e.g., 5 V), and wide interconnection traces in the  
rest of the power delivery current paths. Keep in mind that  
each square unit of 1 ounce copper trace has a resistance  
of ~ 0.53 mat room temperature.  
10. An optional power Schottky diode (3 A–5 A dc rating) from  
each lower MOSFET’s source (anode) to drain (cathode)  
will help to minimize switching power dissipation in the  
upper MOSFETs. In the absence of an effective Schottky  
diode, this dissipation occurs through the following sequence  
of switching events. The lower MOSFET turns off in advance  
of the upper MOSFET turning on (necessary to prevent  
cross-conduction). The circulating current in the power  
converter, no longer finding a path for current through the  
channel of the lower MOSFET, draws current through the  
inherent body diode of the MOSFET. The upper MOSFET  
turns on, and the reverse recovery characteristic of the  
lower MOSFET’s body diode prevents the drain voltage  
from being pulled high quickly. The upper MOSFET then  
conducts very large current while it momentarily has a high  
voltage forced across it, which translates into added power  
dissipation in the upper MOSFET. The Schottky diode  
minimizes this problem by carrying a majority of the circu-  
lating current when the lower MOSFET is turned off, and  
by virtue of its essentially nonexistent reverse recovery time.  
The Schottky diode has to be connected with very short  
copper traces to the MOSFET to be effective.  
2. Whenever high currents must be routed between PCB  
layers, vias should be used liberally to create several parallel  
current paths so that the resistance and inductance intro-  
duced by these current paths is minimized and the via  
current rating is not exceeded.  
3. If critical signal lines (including the voltage and current  
sense lines of the ADP3162) must cross through power  
circuitry, it is best if a signal ground plane can be inter-  
posed between those signal lines and the traces of the  
power circuitry. This serves as a shield to minimize noise  
injection into the signals at the expense of making signal  
ground a bit noisier.  
4. The power ground plane should not extend under signal  
components, including the ADP3162 itself. If necessary,  
follow the preceding guideline to use the signal ground  
plane as a shield between the power ground plane and the  
signal circuitry.  
5. The GND pin of the ADP3162 should be connected first  
to the timing capacitor (on the CT pin), and then into the  
signal ground plane. In cases where no signal ground plane  
can be used, short interconnections to other signal ground  
circuitry in the power converter should be used.  
11. A small ferrite bead inductor placed in series with the drain  
of the lower MOSFET can also help to reduce this previ-  
ously described source of switching power loss.  
12. Whenever a power dissipating component (e.g., a power  
MOSFET) is soldered to a PCB, the liberal use of vias,  
both directly on the mounting pad and immediately sur-  
rounding it, is recommended. Two important reasons for  
this are: improved current rating through the vias, and  
improved thermal performance from vias extended to the  
opposite side of the PCB where a plane can more readily  
transfer the heat to the air.  
6. The output capacitors of the power converter should be  
connected to the signal ground plane even though power  
current flows in the ground of these capacitors. For this  
reason, it is advised to avoid critical ground connections  
(e.g., the signal circuitry of the power converter) in the  
signal ground plane between the input and output capaci-  
tors. It is also advised to keep the planar interconnection  
path short (i.e., have input and output capacitors close  
together).  
13. The output power path, though not as critical as the switch-  
ing power path, should also be routed to encompass a small  
area. The output power path is formed by the current path  
through the inductor, the current sensing resistor, the out-  
put capacitors, and back to the input capacitors.  
7. The output capacitors should also be connected as closely  
as possible to the load (or connector) that receives the power  
(e.g., a microprocessor core). If the load is distributed, the  
capacitors also should be distributed, and generally in pro-  
portion to where the load tends to be more dynamic.  
14. For best EMI containment, the power ground plane should  
extend fully under all the power components except the  
output capacitors. These components are: the input capaci-  
tors, the power MOSFETs and Schottky diodes, the  
inductors, the current sense resistor, and any snubbing  
element that might be added to dampen ringing. Avoid  
extending the power ground under any other circuitry or  
signal lines, including the voltage and current sense lines.  
8. Absolutely avoid crossing any signal lines over the switching  
power path loop, described below.  
Power Circuitry  
9. The switching power path should be routed on the PCB to  
encompass the smallest possible area in order to minimize  
radiated switching noise energy (i.e., EMI). Failure to take  
proper precaution often results in EMI problems for the entire  
REV. A

Signal Circuitry  
16. The CS+ and CS– traces should be Kelvin-connected to  
the current sense resistor so that the additional voltage drop  
due to current flow on the PCB at the current sense resistor  
connections does not affect the sensed voltage.  
15. The output voltage is sensed and regulated between the FB  
pin and the GND pin (which connects to the signal ground  
plane). The output current is sensed (as a voltage) by the  
CS+ and CS– pins. In order to avoid differential mode  
noise pickup in the sensed signal, the loop area should be  
small. Thus the FB trace should be routed atop the signal  
ground plane, and the CS+ and CS– pins should be routed  
as a closely coupled pair (the CS+ pin should be over the  
signal ground plane as well).
