LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The performance of a dc-to-dc converter depends highly on
how the voltage and current paths are configured on the printed
circuit board (PCB). Optimizing the placement of sensitive
analog and power components are essential to minimize output
ripple, maintain tight regulation specifications, and reduce
PWM jitter and electromagnetic interference.
Figure 82 shows the schematic of a typical ADP1872/ADP1873
used for a high power application. Blue traces denote high current
pathways. VIN, PGND, and V

traces should be wide and
possibly replicated, descending down into the multiple layers.
Vias should populate, mainly around the positive and negative
terminals of the input and output capacitors, alongside the source
of Q1/Q2, the drain of Q3/Q4, and the inductor.
