show the board layout for the LM7360xEVM. The EVM offers resistors,
capacitors, and test points to configure the output voltage, precision enable pin, set frequency and
external clock synchronization.
The 30-pin WQFN package offers an exposed thermal pad which must be soldered to the copper landing
on the PCB for optimal thermal performance. The PCB consists of a 4-layer design. There are 2-oz copper
planes on the top and bottom and 1-oz copper mid-layer planes to dissipate heat with an array of thermal
vias under the thermal pad to connect to all four layers.
Test points have been provided for ease of use to connect the power supply, required load and to monitor
critical signals. The 12-pin edge connector can also be used to facilitate the use of a cable harness if one
is required.
