PCB Layout Guide

The printed circuit board (PCB) should use a

heavy ground-plane. The MP6506 must be

soldered directly onto the board for better

electrical and thermal performance.

The MP6506 uses an exposed pad, which

provides a path for enhanced thermal dissipation.

The thermal pad should be soldered directly to

copper on the PCB. Thermal vias are often used

to transfer heat to other layers of the PCB.
