By following proper layout guidelines, such as ensuring proper capacitor placement, optimizing the ground plane, minimizing trace lengths, and adding sufficient input/output capacitors, you can avoid voltage regulation issues. Regular testing and validation of the layout are essential to ensure the proper functioning of the LDO.
By systematically following these steps, you can eliminate or reduce the impact of poor PCB layout on voltage regulation, ensuring reliable performance and preventing damage to sensitive components.
