PC Board Layout Considerations
Like all high-current supplies where low-voltage control
signals in the millivolt range must live with high voltage and
high-current switching signals, PC board layout becomes
crucial in obtaining a satisfactory supply.
Figure 11 shows a simplified diagram of the critical areas of
a PC board layout. This diagram and the following material
represent goals to work towards during the layout phase.
Goals will be compromised during the layout process due to
11
component placement and space constraints. The following
text reviews these layout considerations in more detail.
Current Sampling
1. Place the current sampling or sense resistor as close as
possible to the upper MOSFET drains. This is important
since the added inductance and resistance increase the
impedance and result in a reduction in drain voltage
during high peak pulse currents.
