LTC1435A
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
4. Does the (+) plate of CIN connect to the drain of the
topside MOSFET(s) as closely as possible? This capaci-
tor provides the AC current to the MOSFET(s).
5. Is the INTVCC decoupling capacitor connected closely
betweenINTVCC and the power ground pin? This capaci-
tor carries the MOSFET driver peak currents.
6. Keep the switching node SW away from sensitive small-
signal nodes. Ideally the switch node should be placed
at the furthest point from the LTC1435A.
7. SGND should be exclusively used for grounding exter-
nal components on COSC, ITH, VOSENSE and SFB pins.
8. If operating close to the minimum on-time limit, is the
sense resistor oriented on the radial axis of the induc-
tor? See Figure 8.
