Use the following guidelines for
proper layout design of the device:
- Place the VDD
decoupling capacitor as close to the device as possible.
- Avoid using long traces for
the VDD supply node. The VDD capacitor, along with the
parasitic inductance from the supply to the capacitor, can cause ringing if
the traces are excessive.
- If using a capacitor between
the WDT pin and GND pin to program the upper boundary of the
window-watchdog, the capacitor must be placed as close to the device as
possible.
- Traces for WDR and WDT pins
must be short and tight to avoid building up excessive parasitics.
