PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Printed circuit board

The layout shown in Fig. 16 should be adopted by

the designers. If different layouts are used, the

ground points of input 1 and input 2 must be well

decoupled from the ground return of the output in

which a high current flows.

Assembly suggestion

No electrical isolation is needed between the

package and the heatsink with single supply voltage

configuration.

Application suggestions

The recommended values of the components are

those shown on application circuit of fig. 13.

Different values can be used. The following table

can help the designer.
