Layout Considerations
Layout is straightforward if you use the Gerber files on
page 21 as a reference. Notice that the input voltage feed
to the SC900A is on the bottom of the board and vias con-
nect this voltage track to the top of the board and then
to the SC900A itself. The input bypass can be one 4.7μF
capacitor, two 3.3μF capacitors, three 2.2μF capacitors or
five 1μF capacitors. The determining factor is how much
copper is available on the input voltage feed track and
how much room is available. If the input voltage track is
very thin, then use five 1μF capacitors placed very close
to the input pins of the SC900A. If the input track is fairly
thick, then you can use a single 4.7μF capacitor at the be-
ginning of the voltage feed track since a wider track has
less inductance per inch. The SC900AEVB has five 1μF
capacitors, but these can be replaced with one 4.7μF in
place of C1 and opens in place of C9, C14, C15, and C16
(see page 20 for details).
