Component Placement and Routing Guidelines
This section contains component placement instructions and EVM layout guidelines.
8.1
Power Pin Bypass Capacitors
Place the power pin bypass capacitors as instructed in the following:
•
C28:
Place close to pin 20 (VPWR) and connect with low inductance traces and vias according to
.
•
C25:
Place close to pin 13 (DVDD) and connect with low inductance traces and vias according to
.
•
C26:
Place close to pin 16 (VAUX) and connect with low inductance traces and vias according to
•
C27:
Place close to pin 1 (VTX) and connect with low inductance traces and vias according to
.
8.2
Supporting Components
The following list provides instructions for installing the other components:
•
CRX:
Place C29 and C30 inline with the CC1 and CC2 traces as shown in
. These should be
placed within one inch from the Type C connector. Minimize stubs and tees from on the trace routes.
•
Q1:
Place Q6/Q10 in a manner such that power flows uninterrupted from Q6/Q10 drain to the Type C
connector VBUS connections. Provide adequate copper plane from Q6/Q10 drain and source to the
interconnecting circuits.
•
RS:
Place R31, as shown in
, to facilitate uninterrupted power flow to the Type C connector.
Orient RS for optimal Kelvin sense connection/routing back to the TPS25740/TPS25740A. In high
current applications where the power dissipation is over 250 mW, provide an adequate copper feed to
the pads of R31.
•
RG:
Place R47 and R53 near Q6 and Q10 as shown in
. Minimize stray leakage paths as the
GDNG sourcing current could be affected.
•
RSLEW/CSLEW:
Place R48 and C5 near R47/R53 as shown in
•
R5
: Place on top of the VBUS copper route and connect to the DSCG pin with a 15-mil trace.
•
RF/CF:
When required, place R46 and C22 as shown in
to facilitate the Kelvin sense
connection back to the TPS25740/TPS25740A.
•
CVBUS/DVBUS:
Place C23 and D4 within one inch of the Type C connector and connect them to
VBUS and GND using adequate copper shapes.
