Attention to good layout practices is
always recommended. For best operational performance of the device, use the
following PCB layout practices:
- Make sure that both input
paths are well-matched for source impedance and capacitance to avoid
converting common-mode signals into differential signals.
- Use bypass capacitors to
reduce the coupled noise by providing low-impedance power sources local to
the analog circuitry.
- Connect low-ESR,
0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitors between each supply pin and ground,
placed as close to the device as possible. A single bypass capacitor
from V+ to ground is applicable for single-supply applications.
- Route the input traces as far away from the
supply and output traces as possible to reduce
parasitic coupling. If these traces cannot be kept
separate, crossing the sensitive trace perpendicular
is much better than crossing in parallel with the
noisy trace.
- Place the external components
as close to the device as possible.
- Keep the traces as short as
possible.
