TPS2121: About Layout Guidelines

Part Number: TPS2121

Tool/software:

Hi team,

The layout guidelines state “For high current applications place vias under input and output pins to avoid current density and thermal resistance bottlenecks. Where does the high current start?
Are there any standards?

Best Regards,
Ryu.

  • Hi Ryu,

    As such there is no standard. Following recommendation will give better thermal performance at any current level.

  • Hi Kunal,

    Thank you for your reply.
    I asked this question because I am having difficulty installing vias in my current board design.
    I am not sure if I should proceed with the design without vias, so is there a standard, even if it is approximate?

    Best Regards,
    Ryu.

  • Hi Ryu,

    There is no standard. It is just a recommendation.  You can add more copper in power plane if via is not there. 

    Regards
