6.2 Input Capacitor

PVIN provides power to the MOSFETs for the switch mode regulator section and the gate drivers. Due to the high switching speeds, a 10 μF capacitor is recommended close to PVIN and the power ground (PGND) pin for bypassing.

Analog VIN (AVIN) provides power to the analog supply circuitry. Careful layout should be considered to ensure high-frequency switching noise caused by PVIN is reduced before reaching AVIN. A 1 μF capacitor as close to AVIN as possible is recommended.
