8.5.1 Layout Guidelines

To maximize the performance of the AFEx8201 in any application, follow good layout practices and proper circuit design. The following recommendations are specific to the device:

  • For best performance, dedicate an entire PCB layer to a ground plane and do not route any other signal traces on this layer. However, depending on restrictions imposed by specific end equipment, a dedicated ground plane is not always practical. If ground-plane separation is necessary, make a direct connection of the planes at the DAC. Do not connect individual ground planes at multiple locations because this configuration creates ground loops.
  • IOVDD and PVDD must have 100-nF decoupling capacitors local to the respective pins. VDD must have at least a 1-μF decoupling capacitor used for the internal LDO. Use a high-quality ceramic-type NP0 or X7R capacitor for best performance across temperature and a very low dissipation factor.
  • Place a 100-nF reference capacitor close to the VREFIO pin.
  • Avoid routing switching signals near the reference input.
  • Maintain proper placement for the digital and analog sections with respect to the digital and analog components. Separate the analog and digital circuitry for less coupling into neighboring blocks and to minimize the interaction between analog and digital return currents.
  • For designs that include protection circuits:
    • Place diversion elements, such as TVS diodes or capacitors, close to off-board connectors to make sure that return current from high-energy transients does not cause damage to sensitive devices
    • Use large, wide traces to provide a low-impedance path to divert high-energy transients away from the I/O pins.
