LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The LM2716 uses two separate ground connections, PGND
for the drivers and boost NMOS power device and AGND for
the sensitive analog control circuitry. The AGND and PGND
pins should be tied directly together at the package. The
feedback and compensation networks should be connected

directly to a dedicated analog ground plane and this ground
plane must connect to the AGND pin. If no analog ground
plane is available then the ground connections of the feed-
back and compensation networks must tie directly to the
AGND pin. Connecting these networks to the PGND can
inject noise into the system and effect performance.
The input bypass capacitor C
IN
, as shown in
Figure 3
, must
be placed close to the IC. This will reduce copper trace
resistance which effects input voltage ripple of the IC. For
additional input voltage filtering, a 100nF bypass capacitor
can be placed in parallel with C
IN
, close to the V
IN
pin, to
shunt any high frequency noise to ground. The output ca-
pacitors, C
OUT1
and C
OUT2
, should also be placed close to
the IC. Any copper trace connections for the C
OUTX
capaci-
tors can increase the series resistance, which directly effects
output voltage ripple. The feedback network, resistors R
and R
, should be kept close to the FB pin, and away from
the inductor, to minimize copper trace connections that can
inject noise into the system. Trace connections made to the
inductors and schottky diodes should be minimized to re-
duce power dissipation and increase overall efficiency. See
Figure 3
,
Figure 4
, and
Figure 5
for a good example of
proper layout. For more detail on switching power supply
layout considerations see Application Note AN-1149:
