range must be used at the VIN inputs (IN,IN1,IN2) to
minimize ripple current and voltage droop due to the large
current requirements of the resonant half Half-Bridge
driver. The value of the capacitors will decrease as the
voltage applied approaches the nominal voltage, due to
the ceramic dielectric characteristics. For example, a 22μF
X7R 25V capacitor’s value could be as low as 6μF when
operating at 13V, depending on the manufacturer.
WPC TX-A6 Coil
The internal half-bridge output connects to three series-
resonance circuits made by a WPC triple Type-A6 coil
and series resonant capacitors. The selected inductor
serves as the primary coil of a loosely-coupled
transformer, the secondary of which is the inductor
connected to the power receiver.
Resonance Capacitors
The resonance capacitors must be C0G type dielectric
and have a DC rating of at least 100V. The part numbers
are shown in the Bill Of Materials
Buck Converter
The input capacitors (CIN) must be connected directly
between the power pins (REG_IN and BUCK5VT_IN) and
power PGND pins as near as possible to the IC pins. The
output capacitor (COUT) must be placed as close to the
device and power ground pins (PGND) as possible.
The output-sense connection to the feedback pin,
BUCK5VT_SNS, must be separated from any power
trace. Connect the output-sense trace as close as
possible to the load point to avoid additional load
regulation errors.
The power traces, including PGND traces, the LX or 5V
output traces, and the VIN trace must be kept short, direct
and wide to allow large current flow. Use several via pads
when routing power lines between layers.
LDOs
Input Capacitor
The input capacitors must be located as physically close
as possible to the power pin (LDO2P5V_IN) and power
ground (GND). Ceramic capacitors are recommended for
their low ESR and small profile. Typically, 10V- or 16V-
rated capacitors are recommended.
Output Capacitor
For proper voltage regulation and stability, a capacitor is
required on the output of each LDO (LDO2P5V and
LDO5V). The output capacitor must be placed as close to
the device and power (PGND) pins as possible. Since the
LDOs have been designed to function with very low ESR
capacitors, a ceramic capacitor is reuqired for best
performance.
PCB Layout Considerations
- For optimum device performance and lowest output
phase noise, the following guidelines must be
observed. Please contact IDT for Gerber files that
contain the recommended board layout.
- As for all switching power supplies, especially those
providing high current and using high switching
frequencies, layout is an important design step. If
layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show
instability as well as EMI problems. Therefore, use
wide and short traces for high current paths. If there
are any uncertainties regarding best layout practices
it is best to follow the provided, optimized IDT layout.
- The 0.1μF decoupling capacitors must be mounted on
the component side of the board as close as possible
to the pins intended to be decoupled. Keep PCB
traces to each power pin and to ground vias as short
as possible.
- To optimize board layout, place all components on
the same side of the board.
- All passive components in the network connecting to
the HPF pin, up to and including the three small
signal diodes must be placed close to the HPF pin.
This is a high sensitivity analog circuit, and traces
with high voltage or high noise must be routed away
from this area. It is especially important to mount the
capacitor connecting to the HPF pin as close as
possible to the HPF pin. Additionally, the HPF pin is a
high impedance input and any DC leakage into this
node can reduce performance.
