NXQ1TXA6 Evaluation Board
8.4 DC-to-DC converter
The same layout techniques implemented in the power stage can be applied to the
DC-to-DC converter as shown in
and
. Keep the current loop through
L602 and C609 compact and make sure the decoupling capacitors, inductor and feedback
components are close. Use X7R capacitors of good quality for C605 and C609.
8.5 Current sensing layout technique
When dealing with very low voltages generated across a current sense resistor, use the
“Four-wire” or “Kelvin-connection” technique. It is important to avoid introducing false
voltage drops from adjacent pads and other copper routes.
