Design guidelines for schematic and PCB layout

6.1

General



Absolute maximum rating: 20 V



Preferable dielectric is X7R.



Vdd and ground for the digital section should be separated from the other power

supply.



Coil saturation current compatible with the peak current of the application

6.2

Decoupling capacitors

must be placed as close as possible to the IC pins.

6.3.1

Snubber network

The snubber circuit must be optimized for the specific application. Starting values are

330 pF in series to 22

.

The power dissipation in this network can be defined by the following formula which

considers the power supply, frequency and capacitor value:

2

This power is dissipated on the series resistance.
