The LM3485 is a Hysteretic P-FET Buck Controller, which uses a pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) scheme to regulate the output voltage. This LM3485 demo board and the recommended components are intended to demonstrate the performance with a 3.3V output from a 12V source. The demo board can be used with source voltages from 7V to 28V to deliver output load currents up to 1A.

Figure 2. Component Location (Top Side) Layout Fundamentals The LM3485 can work in a wide range of applications. For your application circuit, proper layout for the buck regulator should be implemented by following a few simple guidelines. 1. Place the power components, which are the MOSFET, diode, inductor and filter capacitors, close together.
