Connection terminal pattern and layout for three-level buck regulator

Abstract

The application generally relates to a connection terminal pattern and layout for a three-level buck regulator. One example electronic module generally includes a substrate, an integrated circuit (IC) package (502) disposed on the substrate and comprising transistors of the three-level buck regulator, a capacitive element (202) of the three-level buck regulator disposed on the substrate, and an inductive element (204) of the three-level buck regulator disposed on the substrate. The capacitive element and the inductive element are disposed adjacent to different sides (530, 532) of the IC package.

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Nonprovisional Application No. 16 / 444,844, filed June 18, 2019, entitled "CONNECTION TERMINAL PATTERN ANDLAYOUT FOR THREE-LEVEL BUCK REGULATOR," which is assigned to the assignee of this application, and expressly incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to electronic circuits and, more particularly, to connection terminal patterns and layouts of three-level buck regulators. Background technique [0004] A voltage regulator ideally provides the desired direct current (DC) output voltage regardless of changes in load current or input voltage. Voltage regulators, also known as power converters, can be classified as either linear regulators or switching regulators. While linear regulators tend to be small and compact, many applications could benefit from the increased efficiency of switching regu...
