In addition to the characteristics of the MOSFETs and diodes used, the amount of switching noise also varies greatly with the PCB layout. Hence for a step-down DC/DC converter, a layout design is necessary that makes the wiring between MOSFETs, diodes (or for synchronous rectification, MOSFETs), and the input capacitor as short as possible.
