ADP7118
Data Sheet
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Heat dissipation from the package can be improved by increasing
the amount of copper attached to the pins of the ADP7118.
However, as listed in Table 6, a point of diminishing returns is
eventually reached, beyond which an increase in the copper size
does not yield significant heat dissipation benefits.
Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the VIN and
GND pins. Place the output capacitor as close as possible to the
VOUT and GND pins. Use of 0805 or 1206 size capacitors and
resistors achieves the smallest possible footprint solution on
boards where area is limited.
