PCB Layout Guideline

Warning!!! To minimize EMI and output noise, follow

these layout recommendations.

PCB Layout is critical to achieve reliable, stable and

efficient performance. A ground plane is required to

control EMI and minimize the inductance in power,

signal and return paths.

The following guidelines should be followed to insure

proper operation of the MIC2174 converter.

•

Place the IC and MOSFETs close to the point of

load (POL).

•

Use fat traces to route the input and output power

lines.

•

Signal and power grounds should be kept separate

and connected at only one location.

Input Capacitor

•

Place the HSD input capacitor next.

•

Place the HSD input capacitors on the same side of

the board and as close to the MOSFETs as

possible.

•

Keep both the HSD and PGND connections short.

•

Place several vias to the ground plane close to the

HSD input capacitor ground terminal.

•

Use either X7R or X5R dielectric input capacitors.

Do not use Y5V or Z5U type capacitors.

•

Do not replace the ceramic input capacitor with any

other type of capacitor. Any type of capacitor can be

placed in parallel with the input capacitor.

•

If a Tantalum input capacitor is placed in parallel

with the input capacitor, it must be recommended for

switching regulator applications and the operating

voltage must be derated by 50%.

•

In “Hot-Plug” applications, a Tantalum or Electrolytic

bypass capacitor must be used to limit the over-

voltage spike seen on the input supply with power is

suddenly applied.

•

An additional Tantalum or Electrolytic bypass input

capacitor of 22µF or higher is required at the input

power connection.

•

The 1µF and 0.1µF capacitors, which connect to the

VIN terminal, must be located right at the IC. The VIN

terminal is very noise sensitive and placement of the

capacitor is very critical. Connections must be made

with wide trace.

Inductor

•

Keep the inductor connection to the switch node

(LX) short.

•

Do not route any digital lines underneath or close to

the inductor.

•

Keep the switch node (LX) away from the feedback

(FB) pin.

•

The LX pin should be connected directly to the drain

of the low-side MOSFET to accurate sense the

voltage across the low-side MOSFET.

•

To minimize noise, place a ground plane underneath

the inductor.

Output Capacitor

•

Use a wide trace to connect the output capacitor

ground terminal to the input capacitor ground

terminal.

•

Phase margin will change as the output capacitor

value and ESR changes. Contact the factory if the

output capacitor is different from what is shown in

the BOM.

•

The feedback trace should be separate from the

power trace and connected as close as possible to

the output capacitor. Sensing a long high current

load trace can degrade the DC load regulation.

Schottky Diode (Optional)

•

Place the Schottky diode on the same side of the

board as the MOSFETs and HSD input capacitor.

•

The connection from the Schottky diode’s Anode to

the input capacitors ground terminal must be as

short as possible.

•

The diode’s Cathode connection to the switch node

(LX) must be keep as short as possible.

RC Snubber

•

Place the RC snubber on the same side of the board

and as close to the MOSFETs as possible.
