for secondary outputs (V2 and V3) depends on the load
characteristics of all three outputs.
Layout Procedure
Good PC board layout and routing are required in high-
frequency switching power supplies to achieve good
regulation, high efficiency, and stability. It is strongly
recommended that the evaluation kit PC board layouts
be followed as closely as possible. Place power com-
ponents as close together as possible, keeping their
traces short, direct, and wide. Avoid interconnecting
the ground pins of the power components using vias
through an internal ground plane. Instead, keep the
power components close together and route them in a
“star” ground configuration using component-side
coper, then connect the star ground to internal ground
using multiple vias.
