Summary
• Vboost components selection
• Recirculation path components selection
• ESD recommendation
• Layout recommendation

2 CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

Vboost component selection
• Boost tank capacitors ESR at cold
temperature need to be taken in account
to avoid spikes on Vboost pin during
recirculation

• Maximum voltage spikes included on

Vboost pin is 80V (at all temperature).

• Example: Chemi con GPD/GVD series

High ripple and low ESR at cold temp.
If Vboost = 65V Max ESR recommended
0.3Ohms.

ESD recommendation
• For ESD protection, all S_HSx pin that
are going outside the module should be
protected with a 4.7nF capacitor.

Layout recommendation: Sense resistance
• Sense resistors layout must be considered with special care, to sense the voltage as close as
possible to the resistor terminations.
• Balanced series resistance, induced by the layout, between the sense resistor positive
termination to the VSENSEPx and the sense resistor negative termination to the VSENSENx
pin is recommended. The balance can be achieved by implementing similar line lengths.

Layout recommendation: GND connections
• All the ground pins of the PT2001 should be connected to the same ground
voltage. Even during transient conditions, the voltage difference between PGND,
DGND and AGND must be limited to ±0.3V. The layout of the ground connection of
the ECU should be carefully design, in order to limit as much as possible the
ground noise, that is generated for instance during fast switching of the external
power MOSFETs

Layout recommendation: Capacitor positions

Layout recommendation: Power line recommendation
• To avoid noise coupling between the power lines and the PT2001 and to sustain the current it is
recommended to use planes for Vbat and Vboost, distributing each MOSFET. Sense wire with
decoupling capacitor close to the device need to be use to monitor Vboost voltage on the PT2001.
