To prevent electromagnetic interfer- An internal comparator compares the SHDN pin voltage ence (EMI) problems, proper layout of the high frequency with an internal voltage reference (~1.3V) which gives a switching path is essential. The voltage signal of the SW pin precise turn-on voltage level. The internal hysteresis of this has sharp rising and falling edges. Minimize the length and turn-on voltage is about 60mV. When the chip is turned on, area of all traces connected to the SW pin and always use and the SHDN pin voltage is close to this turn-on voltage, a ground plane under the switching regulator to minimize 0.1μA current flows out of the SHDN pin. This current is interplane coupling. In addition, the FBP pin and VREF pin called SHDN pin hysteresis current, and will go away when are sensitive to noise.

Recommended Figure 2, a user-programmable enable voltage function component placement is shown in Figure 3. can be realized. VIN SHDN The turn-on voltage for the configuration is: 1.30 • (1 + R1/R2) and the turn-off voltage is: SHDN FBP GND (1.24 – R3 V V • 10–7) • (1 + R1/R2) – R1 • 10–7 CC REF where R1, R2 and R3 are resistance value in Ω.

Figure 3. Recommended Board Layout Half-Bridge Control Signals
The half-bridge is controlled by the IN1 and IN2 pins. The IN1 and IN2 pins should be driven with a logic signal. When the chip is enabled, the OUT1 and OUT2 voltages are equal to VOUT IN1 and IN2 are driven higher than 1V, and they are near GND when IN1 and IN2 are driven below 0.3V. Do not drive the IN1 or IN2 pins between 0.3V to 1V for more than 20µs since this will leave OUT1 or OUT2 in an uncertain state and may also cause shoot-through current. 8415fb 10 For more information www.linear.com/LT8415
