SLLSEE5D february 2013 – july 2023 TUSB8040A1
PRODUCTION DATA
Only one board ground plane should be used in the design. This provides the best image plane for signal traces running above the plane. The thermal pad of the TUSB8040A1 and any of the voltage regulators should be connected to this plane with vias. An earth or chassis ground is implemented only near the USB port connectors on a different plane for EMI and ESD purposes.
