Input Bypass Capacitor
Although the output current of many MAX8614A/
MAX8614B applications may be relatively small, the
input must be designed to withstand current transients
equal to the inductor current limit. The input bypass
capacitor reduces the peak currents drawn from the
voltage source, and reduces noise caused by the
MAX8614A/MAX8614B switching action. The input
source impedance determines the size of the capacitor
required at the input. As with the output filter capacitor,
a low-ESR capacitor is recommended. A 22µF, low-ESR
capacitor is adequate for most applications, although
smaller bypass capacitors may also be acceptable with
low-impedance sources, or if the source supply is
already well filtered. Bypass AVCC separately from V
CC
with a 1.0µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as pos-
sible to the AVCC and GND pins.
PCB Layout and Routing
Proper PCB layout is essential due to high-current
levels and fast-switching waveforms that radiate noise.
Breadboards or protoboards should never be used
when prototyping switching regulators.
