12.1 Layout Guidelines

Figure 23 illustrates an example of a PCB layout for a data acquisition system using the REF34xx-EP. Some key considerations are:

  • Connect low-ESR, 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitors at VIN, VREF of the REF34xx-EP.
  • Decouple other active devices in the system per the device specifications.
  • Using a solid ground plane helps distribute heat and reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise pickup.
  • Place the external components as close to the device as possible. This configuration prevents parasitic errors (such as the Seebeck effect) from occurring.
  • Do not run sensitive analog traces in parallel with digital traces. Avoid crossing digital and analog traces if possible, and only make perpendicular crossings when absolutely necessary.
