In particular, locate also be accomplished in hardware using an external feedback resistors (R5, R6, and R8) as close to FB as thermistor or IC temperature sensor. Figure 8 shows possible. Use wide, short traces to interconnect large how an NTC thermistor can be connected to make the current paths for N1, D1, L1, C1, C2. Do not share bias voltage increase with temperature. these connections with other signal paths. Refer to the MAX1932 EV kit for a PC board layout example. PC Board Layout and Grounding Careful PC board layout is important for minimizing ground bounce and noise. In addition, keep all connec- www.maximintegrated.com Maxim Integrated | 9
