FIGURE 35. RECOMMENDED LAYOUT FOR SINGLE PHASE SETUP
The recommended layout considerations for operating multiple
modules in parallel follows the single-phase guidelines as well as
these additional points:
• Orient VOUT towards the load on the same layer and connect
with thick direct copper etch directly to minimize the loss.
• Place modules such that pins 1-11 point away from power
pads (PD1-4) so that signal busses (EN, ISHARE,
CLKOUT-to-FSYNCIN) can be routed without going under the
module. Run them along the perimeter as in Figure 36.
• Keep remote sensing traces separate, and connect only at the
regulation point. Four separate traces for VSEN_REM- and
RFBT (which stands for remote feedback) as in the example in
Figure 36.
