Connect RSET directly to the GND pin. Using a long path GND pins using a low inductance path. The connection or vias to the ground plane will not have a significant from C1 to the V+ pin is easily done directly on the top affect on accuracy, but a direct, short connection is layer. For the DFN package, C1’s connection to GND recommended and easy to apply. is also simply done on the top layer. For the TSOT-23, 5. Use a ground trace to shield the SET pin. This provides OUT can be routed through the C1 pads to allow a good another layer of protection from radiated signals. C1 GND connection. If the PCB design rules do not allow that, C1’s GND connection can be accomplished 6. Place R1 and R2 close to the DIV pin. A direct, short through multiple vias to the ground plane. Multiple connection to the DIV pin minimizes the external signal vias for both the GND pin connection to the ground coupling. Rev.
