The LP8756xQ1EVM Evaluation Module

Figure 22. Component Placement Bottom Layer

VIN nets are connected to bottom layer with multiple vias. This allows closer placement of the inductors, thus
reducing SW node size and EMI. Also snubber circuits are placed next to SW nets for EMI reduction. Multiple GND
vias are used to provide solid ground around the LP8756xQ1 device.
