7.4.1 Layout Guidelines

Layout is critical to achieve specified performance. Circuit symmetry is necessary for good HD2 performance. Input traces must have impedance-controlled transmission lines. To reduce output to input coupling, use ground plane to fill between the amplifier input and output traces. Output termination resistors are provided on chip internally to the LMH6518. When driving an ADC, the ADC must be placed physically close to the LMH6518 output pins. Use controlled impedance transmission lines if the ADC must be placed farther than 10 mm from the amplifier output pins.
