3 Description  
The LMR36015S regulator is an easy-to-use,  
synchronous, step-down DC/DC converter. With  
integrated high-side and low-side power MOSFETs,  
up to 1.5 A of output current is delivered over a wide  
input voltage range of 4.2 V to 60 V. Tolerance goes  
up to 66 V. The transient tolerance reduces the  
necessary design effort to protect against  
overvoltages and meets the surge immunity  
requirements of IEC 61000-4-5.

– 93% efficiency at 400 kHz (12 VIN, 5 VOUT, 1 A)  
– Increased light load efficiency in PFM  
– Low operating quiescent current of 26 µA  
Solution with few external components  
Optimized for ultra low EMI requirements  
– Meets CISPR25 class 5 standard  
– HotRod package minimizes switch node ringing  
– Parallel input path minimizes parasitic  
inductance  
– Spread spectrum reduces peak emissions  
Create a custom design using the LMR36015S  
with the WEBENCH® Power Designer  
The LMR36015S uses peak-current-mode control to  
provide optimal efficiency and output voltage  
accuracy. Load transient performance is improved  
with FPWM feature in the 1-MHz regulator. Precision  
enable gives flexibility by enabling a direct connection  
to the wide input voltage or precise control over  
device start-up and shutdown. The power-good flag,  
with built-in filtering and delay, offers a true indication  
of system status eliminating the requirement for an  
external supervisor.

9 Detailed Description  
9.1 Overview  
The LMR36015S is a synchronous peak-current-mode buck regulator designed for a wide variety of industrial  
applications. The regulator automatically switches modes between PFM and PWM, depending on load. At heavy  
loads, the device operates in PWM at a constant switching frequency. At light loads, the mode changes to PFM  
with diode emulation allowing DCM. This reduces the input supply current and keeps efficiency high. The device  
features internal loop compensation which reduces design time and requires fewer external components than  
externally compensated regulators.  
The LMR36015S is designed with a flip-chip or HotRod technology, greatly reducing the parasitic inductance of  
pins. In addition, the layout of the device allows for reduction in the radiated noise generated by the switching  
action through partial cancellation of the current generated magnetic field. As a result, the switch-node waveform  
exhibits less overshoot and ringing.

9.3 Feature Description  
9.3.1 Power-Good Flag Output  
The power-good flag function (PG output pin) of the LMR36015S can be used to reset a system microprocessor  
whenever the output voltage is out of regulation. This open-drain output goes low under fault conditions, such as  
current limit and thermal shutdown, as well as during normal start-up. A glitch filter prevents false flag operation  
for short excursions of the output voltage, such as during line and load transients. Output voltage excursions  
lasting less than tPG do not trip the power-good flag. Power-good operation can best be understood by reference  
to Figure 9-2 and Figure 9-3. Note that during initial power up, a delay of about 4 ms (typical) is inserted from the  
time that EN is asserted to the time that the power-good flag goes high. This delay only occurs during start-up  
and is not encountered during normal operation of the power-good function.  
The power-good output consists of an open-drain NMOS, requiring an external pullup resistor to a suitable logic  
supply. It can also be pulled up to either VCC or VOUT through an appropriate resistor as desired. If this function  
is not needed, the PG pin must be grounded. When EN is pulled low, the flag output is also forced low. With EN  
low, power good remains valid as long as the input voltage is ≥ 2 V (typical). Limit the current into this pin to ≤ 4  
mA.

9.3.2 Enable and Start-up  
Start-up and shutdown are controlled by the EN input. This input features precision thresholds, allowing the use  
of an external voltage divider to provide an adjustable input UVLO (see Section 10.2.1.2.9.1). Applying a voltage  
of ≥ VEN-VCC-H causes the device to enter standby mode, powering the internal VCC, but not producing an output  
voltage. Increasing the EN voltage to VEN-OUT-H (VEN-H in Figure 9-4) fully enables the device, allowing it to enter  
start-up mode and starting the soft-start period. When the EN input is brought below VEN-OUT-H (VEN-H in Figure  
9-4) by VEN-OUT-HYS (VEN-HYS in Figure 9-4), the regulator stops running and enters standby mode. Further  
decrease in the EN voltage to below VEN-VCC-L completely shuts down the device. This behavior is shown in  
Figure 9-4. The EN input can be connected directly to VIN if this feature is not needed. This input must not be  
allowed to float. The values for the various EN thresholds can be found in Section 8.5.  
The LMR36015S uses a reference-based soft start that prevents output voltage overshoots and large inrush  
currents as the regulator is starting up. A typical start-up waveform is shown in Figure 9-5 along with typical  
timings. The rise time of the output voltage is about 4 ms.

9.3.3 Current Limit and Short Circuit  
The LMR36015S incorporates valley current limit for normal overloads and for short-circuit protection. In  
addition, the high-side power MOSFET is protected from excessive current by a peak current limit circuit. Cycle-  
by-cycle current limit is used for overloads, while hiccup mode is used for short circuits. Finally, a zero current  
detector is used on the low-side power MOSFET to implement diode emulation mode (DEM) at light loads (see  
Section 13.7).  
During overloads, the low-side current limit, ILIMIT, determines the maximum load current that the LMR36015S  
can supply. When the low-side switch turns on, the inductor current begins to ramp down. If the current does not  
fall below ILIMIT before the next turnon cycle, then that cycle is skipped, and the low-side MOSFET is left on until  
the current falls below ILIMIT. This is somewhat different than the more typical peak current limit and results in  
Equation 1 for the maximum load current.

L = inductor value  
If, during current limit, the voltage on the FB input falls below about 0.4 V due to a short circuit, the device enters  
hiccup mode. In this mode, the device stops switching for tHC or about 94 ms, and then goes through a normal  
re-start with soft start. If the short-circuit condition remains, the device runs in current limit for about 20 ms  
(typical) and then shuts down again. This cycle repeats, as shown in Figure 9-6, as long as the short-circuit  
condition persists. This mode of operation helps reduce the temperature rise of the device during a hard short on  
the output. Of course, the output current is greatly reduced during hiccup mode. Once the output short is  
removed and the hiccup delay is passed, the output voltage recovers normally as shown in Figure 9-6.  
The high-side-current limit trips when the peak inductor current reaches ISC. This is a cycle-by-cycle current limit  
and does not produce any frequency or load current foldback. It is meant to protect the high-side MOSFET from  
excessive current. Under some conditions, such as high input voltages, this current limit can trip before the low-  
side protection. Under this condition, ISC determines the maximum output current. Note that ISC varies with duty  
cycle.

9.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout and Thermal Shutdown  
The LMR36015S incorporates an undervoltage-lockout feature on the output of the internal LDO (at the VCC  
pin). When VCC reaches 3.8 V (typ.), the device receives the EN signal and starts switching. When VCC falls  
below 3.3 V (typ.), the device shuts down, regardless of EN status. Since the LDO is in dropout during these  
transitions, the previously mentioned values roughly represent the input voltage levels during the transitions.

Thermal shutdown is provided to protect the regulator from excessive junction temperature. When the junction  
temperature reaches about 170°C, the device shuts down; restart occurs when the temperature falls to about  
158°C.  
9.4 Device Functional Modes  
9.4.1 Auto Mode  
In auto mode, the device moves between PWM and PFM as the load changes. At light loads, the regulator  
operates in PFM. At higher loads, the mode changes to PWM.  
In PWM, the regulator operates as a constant frequency, current mode, full synchronous converter using PWM  
to regulate the output voltage. While operating in this mode, the output voltage is regulated by switching at a  
constant frequency and modulating the duty cycle to control the power to the load. This provides excellent line  
and load regulation and low output voltage ripple.  
In PFM, the high-side MOSFET is turned on in a burst of one or more pulses to provide energy to the load. The  
duration of the burst depends on how long it takes the inductor current to reach IPEAK-MIN. The frequency of  
these bursts is adjusted to regulate the output, while diode emulation (DEM) is used to maximize efficiency (see  
Section 13.7). This mode provides high light-load efficiency by reducing the amount of input supply current  
required to regulate the output voltage at small loads. This trades off very good light-load efficiency for larger  
output voltage ripple and variable switching frequency. Also, a small increase in output voltage occurs at light  
loads. The actual switching frequency and output voltage ripple depend on the input voltage, output voltage, and  
load. Typical switching waveforms in PFM and PWM are shown in Figure 9-7 and Figure 9-8. See Section 10.2.2  
for output voltage variation with load in auto mode.

9.4.2 Forced PWM Operation  
The following select variant or variants are factory options made available for cases when constant frequency  
operation is more important than light load efficiency.

In FPWM operation, the diode emulation feature is turned off. This means that the device remains in CCM under  
light loads. Under conditions where the device must reduce the on-time or off-time below the ensured minimum  
to maintain regulation, the frequency reduces to maintain the effective duty cycle required for regulation. This  
occurs for very high and very low input/output voltage ratios. When in FPWM mode, a limited reverse current is  
allowed through the inductor allowing power to pass from the output of the regulator to its input. Note that in  
FPWM mode, larger currents pass through the inductor, if lightly loaded, than in auto mode. Once loads are  
heavy enough to necessitate CCM operation, FPWM mode has no measurable effect on regulator operation.  
9.4.3 Dropout  
The dropout performance of any buck regulator is affected by the RDSON of the power MOSFETs, the DC  
resistance of the inductor, and the maximum duty cycle that the controller can achieve. As the input voltage is  
reduced to near the output voltage, the off-time of the high-side MOSFET starts to approach the minimum value.

Beyond this point, the switching can become erratic, the output voltage falls out of regulation, or both. To avoid  
this problem, the LMR36015S automatically reduces the switching frequency to increase the effective duty cycle  
and maintain regulation. In this data sheet, the dropout voltage is defined as the difference between the input  
and output voltage when the output has dropped by 1% of its nominal value. Under this condition, the switching  
frequency has dropped to its minimum value of about 140 kHz. Note that the 0.4-V short circuit detection  
threshold is not activated when in dropout mode. Typical dropout characteristics can be found in Figure 9-9 and  
Figure 9-10.

9.4.4 Minimum Switch On-Time  
Every switching regulator has a minimum controllable on-time dictated by the inherent delays and blanking times  
associated with the control circuits. This imposes a minimum switch duty cycle and, therefore, a minimum  
conversion ratio. The constraint is encountered at high input voltages and low output voltages. To help extend  
the minimum controllable duty cycle, the LMR36015S automatically reduces the switching frequency when the  
minimum on-time limit is reached. This way, the converter can regulate the lowest programmable output voltage  
at the maximum input voltage. An estimate for the approximate input voltage, for a given output voltage, before  
frequency foldback occurs, is found in Equation 2. As the input voltage is increased, the switch on-time (duty  
cycle) reduces to regulate the output voltage. When the on-time reaches the limit, the switching frequency drops,  
while the on-time remains fixed.

10 Application and Implementation  
Note  
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI  
does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining  
suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design  
implementation to confirm system functionality.  
10.1 Application Information  
The LMR36015S step-down DC-to-DC converter is typically used to convert a higher DC voltage to a lower DC  
voltage with a maximum output current of 1.5 A. The following design procedure can be used to select  
components for the LMR36015S. Alternately, the WEBENCH® Design Tool can be used to generate a complete  
design. This tool utilizes an iterative design procedure and has access to a comprehensive database of  
components. This allows the tool to create an optimized design and allows the user to experiment with various  
options.  
Note  
All of the capacitance values given in the following application information refer to effective values;  
unless otherwise stated. The effective value is defined as the actual capacitance under DC bias and  
temperature; not the rated or nameplate values. Use high-quality, low-ESR, ceramic capacitors with  
an X7R or better dielectric throughout. All high value ceramic capacitors have a large voltage  
coefficient in addition to normal tolerances and temperature effects. Under DC bias the capacitance  
drops considerably. Large case sizes and/or higher voltage ratings are better in this regard. To help  
mitigate these effects, multiple capacitors can be used in parallel to bring the minimum effective  
capacitance up to the required value. This can also ease the RMS current requirements on a single  
capacitor. A careful study of bias and temperature variation of any capacitor bank should be made in  
order to ensure that the minimum value of effective capacitance is provided.  
10.2 Typical Application  
Figure 10-1 shows a typical LMR36015S application circuit. This device is designed to function over a wide  
range of external components and system parameters. However, the internal compensation is optimized for a  
certain range of external inductance and output capacitance. As a quick start guide, Table 10-1 provides typical  
component values for a range of the most common output voltages.

10.2.1.2.2 Choosing the Switching Frequency  
The choice of switching frequency is a compromise between conversion efficiency and overall solution size.  
Lower switching frequency implies reduced switching losses and usually results in higher system efficiency.  
However, higher switching frequency allows the use of smaller inductors and output capacitors, and hence a  
more compact design. For this example, 400 kHz is used.  
10.2.1.2.3 Setting the Output Voltage  
The output voltage of LMR36015S is externally adjustable using a resistor divider network. The range of  
recommended output voltage is found in Section 8.5. The divider network is comprised of RFBT and RFBB, and  
closes the loop between the output voltage and the converter. The converter regulates the output voltage by  
holding the voltage on the FB pin equal to the internal reference voltage, VREF. The resistance of the divider is a  
compromise between excessive noise pickup and excessive loading of the output. Smaller values of resistance  
reduce noise sensitivity but also reduce the light-load efficiency. The recommended value for RFBT is 100 kΩ,  
with a maximum value of 1 MΩ. If 1 MΩ is selected for RFBT, then a feedforward capacitor must be used across

For this 5-V example, values are: RFBT = 100 kΩ and RFBB = 24.9 kΩ.  
10.2.1.2.4 Inductor Selection  
The parameters for selecting the inductor are the inductance and saturation current. The inductance is based on  
the desired peak-to-peak ripple current and is normally chosen to be in the range of 20% to 40% of the  
maximum output current. Experience shows that the best value for inductor ripple current is 30% of the  
maximum load current. Note that when selecting the ripple current for applications with much smaller maximum  
load than the maximum available from the device, use the the maximum device current. Equation 4 can be used  
to determine the value of inductance. The constant K is the percentage of inductor current ripple. For this  
example, K = 0.4 was chosen and an inductance of L = 16 µH was found; the standard value of 10 µH was  
selected.

Ideally, the saturation current rating of the inductor is at least as large as the high-side switch current limit, ISC  
.
This ensures that the inductor does not saturate even during a short circuit on the output. When the inductor  
core material saturates, the inductance falls to a very low value, causing the inductor current to rise very rapidly.  
Although the valley current limit, ILIMIT, is designed to reduce the risk of current runaway, a saturated inductor  
can cause the current to rise to high values very rapidly. This can lead to component damage; do not allow the  
inductor to saturate. Inductors with a ferrite core material have very hard saturation characteristics, but usually  
have lower core losses than powdered iron cores. Powered iron cores exhibit a soft saturation, allowing some  
relaxation in the current rating of the inductor. However, they have more core losses at frequencies above about  
1 MHz. In any case, the inductor saturation current must not be less than the device low-side current limit, ILIMIT  
To avoid subharmonic oscillation, the inductance value must not be less than that given in Equation 5:

10.2.1.2.5 Output Capacitor Selection  
The value of the output capacitor and its ESR determine the output voltage ripple and load transient  
performance. The output capacitor bank is usually limited by the load transient requirements rather than the  
output voltage ripple. Equation 6 can be used to estimate a lower bound on the total output capacitance, and an  
upper bound on the ESR, required to meet a specified load transient.

where

The output capacitor and ESR can then be adjusted to meet both the load transient and output ripple  
requirements.  
In practice, the output capacitor has the most influence on the transient response and loop phase margin. Load  
transient testing and bode plots are the best way to validate any given design and must always be completed  
before the application goes into production. In addition to the required output capacitance, a small ceramic  
placed on the output can help reduce high frequency noise. Small case size ceramic capacitors in the range of 1  
nF to 100 nF can be very helpful in reducing spikes on the output caused by inductor and board parasitics.  
Limit the maximum value of total output capacitance to about 10 times the design value, or 1000 µF, whichever  
is smaller. Large values of output capacitance can adversely affect the start-up behavior of the regulator as well  
as the loop stability. If values larger than noted here must be used, then a careful study of start-up at full load  
and loop stability must be performed.

10.2.1.2.6 Input Capacitor Selection  
The ceramic input capacitors provide a low impedance source to the regulator in addition to supplying the ripple  
current and isolating switching noise from other circuits. A minimum ceramic capacitance of 4.7 µF is required on  
the input of the LMR36015S. This must be rated for at least the maximum input voltage that the application  
requires; preferably twice the maximum input voltage. This capacitance can be increased to help reduce input  
voltage ripple, maintain the input voltage during load transients, or both. In addition, a small case size 220-nF  
ceramic capacitor must be used at the input as close a possible to the regulator. This provides a high frequency  
bypass for the control circuits internal to the device. For this example, a 4.7-µF, 100-V, X7R (or better) ceramic  
capacitor is chosen. The 220 nF must also be rated at 100 V with an X7R dielectric. The VQFN package  
provides two input voltage pins and two power ground pins on opposite sides of the package. This allows the  
input capacitors to be split, and placed optimally with respect to the internal power MOSFETs, thus improving the  
effectiveness of the input bypassing. In this example, place two 220-nF ceramic capacitors at each VIN-PGND  
location.  
It is often desirable to use an electrolytic capacitor on the input in parallel with the ceramics. This is especially  
true if long leads/traces are used to connect the input supply to the regulator. The moderate ESR of this  
capacitor can help damp any ringing on the input supply caused by the long power leads. The use of this  
additional capacitor also helps with voltage dips caused by input supplies with unusually high impedance.  
Most of the input switching current passes through the ceramic input capacitor or capacitors. The approximate  
RMS value of this current can be calculated from Equation 8 and should be checked against the manufacturers'  
maximum ratings.

10.2.1.2.7 CBOOT  
The LMR36015S requires a bootstrap capacitor connected between the BOOT pin and the SW pin. This  
capacitor stores energy that is used to supply the gate drivers for the power MOSFETs. A high-quality ceramic  
capacitor of 100 nF and at least 16 V is required.  
10.2.1.2.8 VCC  
The VCC pin is the output of the internal LDO used to supply the control circuits of the regulator. This output  
requires a 1-µF, 16-V ceramic capacitor connected from VCC to GND for proper operation. In general, this  
output must not be loaded with any external circuitry. However, this output can be used to supply the pullup for  
the power-good function (see Section 9.3.1). A value in the range of 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ is a good choice in this  
case. The nominal output voltage on VCC is 5 V.  
10.2.1.2.9 CFF Selection  
In some cases, a feedforward capacitor can be used across RFBT to improve the load transient response or  
improve the loop-phase margin. This is especially true when values of RFBT > 100 kΩ are used. Large values of  
RFBT, in combination with the parasitic capacitance at the FB pin, can create a small signal pole that interferes  
with the loop stability. A CFF can help to mitigate this effect. Equation 9 can be used to estimate the value of CFF.  
The value found with Equation 9 is a starting point; use lower values to determine if any advantage is gained by  
the use of a CFF capacitor. The Optimizing Transient Response of Internally Compensated DC-DC Converters  
with Feed-forward Capacitor Application Report is helpful when experimenting with a feedforward capacitor.

10.2.1.2.9.1 External UVLO  
In some cases, an input UVLO level different than that provided internal to the device is needed. This can be  
accomplished by using the circuit shown in Figure 10-2 can be used. The input voltage at which the device turns  
on is designated VON while the turnoff voltage is VOFF. First, a value for RENB is chosen in the range of 10 kΩ to  
100 kΩ and then Equation 10 is used to calculate RENT and VOFF  
.

10.2.1.2.10 Maximum Ambient Temperature  
As with any power conversion device, the LMR36015S dissipates internal power while operating. The effect of  
this power dissipation is to raise the internal temperature of the converter above ambient. The internal die  
temperature (TJ) is a function of the ambient temperature, the power loss and the effective thermal resistance,  
RθJA of the device, and PCB combination. The maximum internal die temperature for the LMR36015S must be  
limited to 150°C. This establishes a limit on the maximum device power dissipation and, therefore, the load  
current. Equation 11 shows the relationships between the important parameters. It is easy to see that larger  
ambient temperatures (TA) and larger values of RθJA reduce the maximum available output current. The  
converter efficiency can be estimated by using the curves provided in this data sheet. If the desired operating  
conditions cannot be found in one of the curves, then interpolation can be used to estimate the efficiency.  
Alternatively, the EVM can be adjusted to match the desired application requirements and the efficiency can be  
measured directly. The correct value of RθJA is more difficult to estimate. As stated in the Semiconductor and IC  
Package Thermal Metrics Application Report, the values given in Section 8.4 are not valid for design purposes  
and must not be used to estimate the thermal performance of the application. The values reported in that table  
were measured under a specific set of conditions that are rarely obtained in an actual application.

The effective RθJA is a critical parameter and depends on many factors such as power dissipation, air  
temperature/flow, PCB area, copper heat-sink area, number of thermal vias under the package, and adjacent  
component placement, to mention just a few. Due to the ultra-miniature size of the VQFN (RNX) package, a DAP  
is not available. This means that this package exhibits a somewhat greater RθJA. A typical example of RθJA  
versus copper board area can be found in Figure 10-3. Note that the data given in this graph is for illustration  
purposes only, and the actual performance in any given application depends on all of the factors mentioned

11 Power Supply Recommendations  
The characteristics of the input supply must be compatible with Section 8 found in this data sheet. In addition,  
the input supply must be capable of delivering the required input current to the loaded regulator. The average  
input current can be estimated with Equation 12.  
VOUT IOUT  
IIN  
=
VIN ∂ h  
(12)  
where  
η is the efficiency  
If the regulator is connected to the input supply through long wires or PCB traces, special care is required to  
achieve good performance. The parasitic inductance and resistance of the input cables can have an adverse  
effect on the operation of the regulator. The parasitic inductance, in combination with the low-ESR, ceramic input  
capacitors, can form an underdamped resonant circuit, resulting in overvoltage transients at the input to the  
regulator. The parasitic resistance can cause the voltage at the VIN pin to dip whenever a load transient is  
applied to the output. If the application is operating close to the minimum input voltage, this dip can cause the  
regulator to momentarily shutdown, reset, or both. The best way to solve these kind of issues is to reduce the  
distance from the input supply to the regulator, use an aluminum or tantalum input capacitor in parallel with the  
ceramics, or both. The moderate ESR of these types of capacitors help to damp the input resonant circuit and  
reduce any overshoots. A value in the range of 20 µF to 100 µF is usually sufficient to provide input damping and  
help to hold the input voltage steady during large load transients.  
Sometimes, for other system considerations, an input filter is used in front of the regulator. This can lead to  
instability, as well as some of the effects mentioned above, unless it is designed carefully. The AN-2162 Simple  
Success With Conducted EMI From DCDC Converters User's Guide provides helpful suggestions when  
designing an input filter for any switching regulator.  
In some cases, a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) is used on the input of regulators. One class of this device  
has a snap-back characteristic (thyristor type). The use of a device with this type of characteristic is not  
recommended. When the TVS fires, the clamping voltage falls to a very low value. If this voltage is less than the  
output voltage of the regulator, the output capacitors discharge through the device back to the input. This  
uncontrolled current flow can damage the device.

12 Layout  
12.1 Layout Guidelines  
The PCB layout of any DC/DC converter is critical to the optimal performance of the design. Poor PCB layout  
can disrupt the operation of an otherwise good schematic design. Even if the converter regulates correctly, bad  
PCB layout can mean the difference between a robust design and one that cannot be mass produced.  
Furthermore, to a great extent, the EMI performance of the regulator is dependent on the PCB layout. In a buck  
converter, the most critical PCB feature is the loop formed by the input capacitor or capacitors and power  
ground, as shown in Figure 12-1. This loop carries large transient currents that can cause large transient  
voltages when reacting with the trace inductance. These unwanted transient voltages disrupt the proper  
operation of the converter. Because of this, the traces in this loop must be wide and short, and the loop area as  
small as possible to reduce the parasitic inductance. Figure 12-2 shows a recommended layout for the critical  
components of the LMR36015S.  
1. Place the input capacitor or capacitors as close as possible to the VIN and GND terminals. VIN and GND  
pins are adjacent, simplifying the input capacitor placement.  
2. Place bypass capacitor for VCC close to the VCC pin. This capacitor must be placed close to the device and  
routed with short, wide traces to the VCC and GND pins.  
3. Use wide traces for the CBOOT capacitor. Place CBOOT close to the device with short/wide traces to the BOOT  
and SW pins. Route the SW pin to the N/C pin and used to connect the BOOT capacitor to SW.  
4. Place the feedback divider as close as possible to the FB pin of the device. Place RFBB, RFBT, and CFF, if  
used, physically close to the device. The connections to FB and GND must be short and close to those pins  
on the device. The connection to VOUT can be somewhat longer. However, this latter trace must not be routed  
near any noise source (such as the SW node) that can capacitively couple into the feedback path of the  
regulator.  
5. Use at least one ground plane in one of the middle layers. This plane acts as a noise shield and also act as a  
heat dissipation path.  
6. Provide wide paths for VIN, VOUT, and GND. Making these paths as wide and direct as possible reduces any  
voltage drops on the input or output paths of the converter and maximizes efficiency.  
7. Provide enough PCB area for proper heat-sinking. As stated in Section 10.2.1.2.10, enough copper area  
must be used to ensure a low RθJA, commensurate with the maximum load current and ambient temperature.  
The top and bottom PCB layers must be made with two ounce copper; and no less than one ounce. If the  
PCB design uses multiple copper layers (recommended), these thermal vias can also be connected to the  
inner layer heat-spreading ground planes.  
8. Keep switch area small. Keep the copper area connecting the SW pin to the inductor as short and wide as  
possible. At the same time the total area of this node must be minimized to help reduce radiated EMI.

12.1.1 Ground and Thermal Considerations  
As previously mentioned, TI recommends using one of the middle layers as a solid ground plane. A ground  
plane provides shielding for sensitive circuits and traces as well as a quiet reference potential for the control  
circuitry. Connect the AGND and PGND pins to the ground planes using vias next to the bypass capacitors.  
PGND pins are connected directly to the source of the low-side MOSFET switch and also connected directly to  
the grounds of the input and output capacitors. The PGND net contains noise at the switching frequency and can  
bounce due to load variations. The PGND trace, as well as the VIN and SW traces, must be constrained to one  
side of the ground planes. The other side of the ground plane contains much less noise; use for sensitive routes.  
Use as much copper as possible, for system ground plane, on the top and bottom layers for the best heat  
dissipation. Use a four-layer board with the copper thickness for the four layers, starting from the top as: 2 oz / 1  
oz / 1 oz / 2 oz. A four-layer board with enough copper thickness, and proper layout, provides low current  
conduction impedance, proper shielding, and lower thermal resistance.
