Layout Guidelines
6.2.1
Supply Voltage Decoupling
Provide power supply pin bypass to the TPS23881 device as follows:
•
0.1 µF, 100 V, X7R ceramic at pin 28 (VPWR)
•
0.1 µF, 50 V, X7R ceramic at pin 1 (VDD)
6.2.2
Port Current Kelvin Sensing
KSENSA is shared between SEN1 and SEN2, while KSENSB is shared between SEN3 and SEN4. In
order to optimize the accuracy of the measurement, the PCB layout must be done carefully to minimize
the impact of PCB trace resistance. Refer to
as an example.
6.2.3
Ground Plane Spacing and Isolation (GND, GND1, and EARTH Nets)
Appropriate spacing should be provided between the GND, GND1, and EARTH nets as shown in
