PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
Below are a few layout recommendations to utilize when designing a PCB for the DRV8301/2.
XX
1. The DRV8301/2 makes an electrical connection to GND through the PowerPAD. Always check to ensure that
the PowerPAD has been properly soldered (See PowerPAD application report, SLMA002).
2. C1/C2/C8/C9, PVDD decoupling capacitors should be placed close to their corresponding pins with a low
impedance path to device GND (PowerPAD).
3. C4, GVDD capacitor should be placed close its corresponding pin with a low impedance path to device GND
(PowerPAD).
4. C16/C17, AVDD & DVDD capacitors should be placed close to their corresponding pins with a low
impedance path to the AGND pin. It’s preferable to make this connection on the same layer.
5. AGND should be tied to device GND (PowerPAD) through a low impedance trace/copper fill.
6. Add stitching vias to reduce the impedance of the GND path from the top to bottom side.
7. Try to clear the space around and underneath the DRV8301/2 to allow for better heat spreading from the
PowerPAD.
