As in any switching regulator, layout is very important.
Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring
inductance generate voltage transient switch can cause
problems. For minimal stray inductance and ground
loops, the length of the leads indicated by heavy lines
should be kept as short as possible. Single-point
grounding (as indicated) or ground plane construction
should be used for best results.
