1 Introduction
BD71815AGW is a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) for battery-powered portable devices.
It integrates 5 Bucks, 8 LDOs, a boost driver for LED, 500mA single-cell linear charger, Coulomb counter,
RTC, 32 kHz crystal circuitry and a GPO. And it is designed to support the specific power requirement
of Freescale i.MX 7Solo and i.MX 7Dual platforms with minimum cost requirement.
The “BD71815AGW Platform Design Guide” provides design guideline which is recommended to PCB
layer stack up, the components placement and the PCB routing. To reduce the risk that comes from
PCB layout or parts placement, the guideline is strongly recommended to be adapted to the PCB design.

3.3 General Stack-up Recommendations
Type-4 and 6 layers PCB technology is used for BD71815AGW. The following general stack-up is
strongly recommended to be applied to all the routings on the PCB.
Surface plane layer are recommended to be 2.0 Mils thick copper.
Internal plane layers are recommended to be 1.3 Mils thick copper.
It is recommended that I2C signals have reference to solid planes over the length of their
routing and do not cross plane splits. Ground is preferred as reference.
PCB should be filled with as much ground or other power rails as possible with copper. There
should not be any large areas with no metal in the board. Heat dissipation gets improved with
larger metal areas. Large metal area also reduces stray resistance and inductance.
3.4 6-layer Board Stack-up
BD71815AGW Boards uses the PCB technologies of a high density interconnect, Type 4, 6-layer
board. Figure 3-3-1 shows PCB 1-4-1 stack-up.

3.5 General PCB Pad Design Guidelines
The following guidelines are to improve mechanical robustness and solder joint reliability (SJR) of Pbfree SLI. The following guidelines are highly recommended to be followed for robust platform signal
integrity.
3.5.1 Pad Size and Shape
1. The ratio of package solder resist opening (SRO) to PCB pad size must be less than 1:1.1.
The pad size can be calculated by the package side SRO. First, the side package length is
divided by 1.1 then the result is rounded up to the next whole number by mil.
250/ 1.1 = 227.27 μm,
227.27μml = 8.95 mils = ~9 mils
2. If SRO is not provided, the alternate method for calculating pad size is that the nominal ball
diameter is multiplied by 0.8, then rounded up to the nearest whole mil.

3.6 Via Guidelines
This section explains proper via-drill, pad, and anti-pad size.
Note: Improper drill, pad, and anti-pad size may cause some trouble on the PCB cost, reliability,
manufacturability, and electrical characteristics.
Type-3 PCB technology employs plated through-hole (PTH) vias for breakout routing. The dimension
of PTH vias may vary as necessary. Table 3-6-1 shows the recommended via dimension used for the
breakout areas of BD71815AGW. Figure 3-6-1 shows about the dimensions of via.
Type-4 PCB technology employs plated through-hole (PTH) vias and micro via holes (MVH) for breakout
routing. Since the PTH vias are used in less space-constrained areas outside the BGA field, the
dimension of PTH vias may vary as necessary. Table 3-6-1 shows the recommended via dimension
used for the breakout areas of BD71815AGW. Figure 3-6-1 shows about the dimensions of via.

4.2 General Layout Guideline
This section explains the guideline for Voltage Regulators. High current voltage rails must be carefully
laid out to avoid unwanted noise interference from other signals and voltage drop. Especially for
switching regulators, abrupt current/ voltage change occurs around the switch-nodes, so please note
this in your layout and be sure to follow all the guidelines in this section.
4.2.1 Overall component Placement Example
Figure 4-2-1 shows the overall component-placement example.
The figure shows the components that are needed to put closely to the BD71815AGW. It is strongly
recommended that power components are put prior to any other components so that the signals do not
interfere with each other.

4.2.2 Large Current Loop
There are 2 high pulsing current flowing loops in the buck regulator system.
Loop1:
When Tr2 turns ON, the loop starts from the input capacitor, to VIN terminal, to LX terminal, to L
(inductor), to output capacitors, and then returns to the input capacitor through GND.
Loop2:
When Tr1 turns ON, the loop starts from Tr1, to L (inductor), to output capacitors, and then returns
to Tr1 through GND.
To reduce the noise and improve the efficiency, please minimize these two loops area. Figure 4-2-2-1
shows the current loops which needs to be designed by taking care of parts placement and the routings.

As Figure 4-2-2-2 shows, please route patterns which load heavy current with short and wide traces as
much as possible to suppress noise that comes from parasitic inductance on PCB and switching
operation, especially for the node’s current that changes drastically such as VIN (input voltage) and
power ground (GND).

4.2.3 Power GND
Power grounds of DC-to-DC Converters (PGNDx) are noisy ground due to current loops indicated in
the previous section. Thus, power grounds should take large area as much as possible to keep
impedance low and reduce the swing ground voltage level.
4.2.4 VIN (Power supply for BD71815AGW analog circuit)
VIN should not connect with plane VSYS directly to avoid external noise from PVINx due to common
impedance. Also, please place a capacitor near this pin as much as possible to stabilize input power.

4.2.5 Other Signal Pattern Precautions
Make sure to leave adequate space between noisy lines of voltage rail and serial interface (I2C).
4.2.6 Feedback sense line
Feedback Sense terminals (FBx) are used for voltage rails to send out the accurate voltage. In order
for output voltage of each VRs to avoid voltage drop caused by the large current and the parasitic
impedance, please make sure that the feedback sense lines are independently routed from the point
near output capacitors.

Note;
Routings of BATTP and BATTM between PMIC and the sense resistor has to be independent for
accurate sensing. To avoid any influence of common impedance of soldering, connecting BATTP and
BATTM to inside pads of the sense resistor is recommended.
