The DAC5662 EVM layout should be used as a reference for the layout to obtain the best performance. A sample layout is shown in Figure 11-1 through Figure 11-4. Some important layout recommendations are:
- Use a single ground plane. Keep the digital and
analog signals on distinct separate sections of the board. This may be virtually
divided down the middle of the device package when doing placement and layout.
- Keep the analog outputs as far away from the
switching clocks and digital signals as possible. This will keep coupling from
the digital circuits to the analog outputs to a minimum.
- Decoupling caps should be kept close to the power
pins of the device.
