5. PCB Layout Guidelines
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout and design are very
important for switching power supplies where the voltage
and current change with high dv/dt and di/dt. Good PCB
layout minimizes excessive EMI and prevents the power
supply from being disrupted during surge / ESD tests. The
following guidelines are recommended for layout designs.
To improve EMI performance and reduce line
frequency ripple, the output of the bridge rectifier
should be connected to capacitors C
then to the transformer and MOSFET.
The primary-side high-frequency current loop is C
– Transformer – MOSFET – R
enclosed by this current loop should be as small as
possible. The trace for the control signal (FB, CS, and
GATE) should not go across this primary high-
frequency current loop to avoid interference.
Place R
for protection from the inrush spike on the
HV
HV pin (100 kΩ is recommended).
R
should be connected to the ground of C
CS
directly. Keep the trace short and wide (Trace
and place it close to the CS pin to reduce switching
noise. High-voltage traces related to the drain of the
MOSFET and the RCD snubber should be away from
control circuits to prevent unnecessary interference. If
a heat sink is used for the MOSFET, connect this heat
sink to ground.
