The printed circuit board should use a heavy ground- plane. For optimum electrical and thermal performance, the A4988 must be soldered directly onto the board. Pins 6, 7, 18, and 19 are internally fused, which provides a path for enhanced thermal dissipation. Theses pins should be soldered directly to an exposed surface on the PCB that connects to thermal vias are used to transfer heat to other layers of the PCB. In order to minimize the effects of ground bounce and offset issues, it is important to have a low impedance single-point ground, known as a star ground, located very close to the device. By making the connection between the pad and the ground plane directly under the A4988, that area becomes an ideal location for a star ground point. A low impedance ground will prevent ground bounce during high current operation and ensure that the supply voltage remains stable at the input terminal. The two input capacitors should be placed in parallel, and as close to the device supply pins as possible. The ceramic capaci- tor (CIN1) should be closer to the pins than the bulk capacitor (CIN2). This is necessary because the ceramic capacitor will be responsible for delivering the high frequency current components. The sense resistors, RSx , should have a very low impedance path to ground, because they must carry a large current while supporting very accurate voltage measurements by the current sense comparators. Long ground traces will cause additional voltage drops, adversely affecting the ability of the comparators to accurately measure the current in the windings. The SENSEx pins have very short traces to the RSx resistors and very thick, low impedance traces directly to the star ground underneath the device. If possible, there should be no other components on the sense circuits.
