- Minimize loop area in high-current paths to reduce parasitic inductance
- Implement multiple vias for thermal management and current sharing
Gate Drive Circuit
- Keep gate drive traces short and direct
- Place gate resistor close to MOSFET gate pin
- Use ground plane for return paths
Thermal Management
- Provide adequate copper area for heatsinking (minimum 2cm²)
- Use thermal vias to distribute heat to inner layers
- Consider exposed pad connection to PCB for improved thermal performance
Decoupling and Filtering
- Place bypass capacitors close to drain and source pins
- Use low-ESR
