To ensure reliability of the device, following common printed-circuit board layout guidelines is recommended.
- Bypass capacitors must be used on power supplies, and must be placed as close as possible to the VCCA, VCCB pin and GND pin.
- Short trace-lengths must be used to avoid excessive loading.
- PCB signal trace-lengths must be kept short enough so that the round-trip delay of any reflection is less than the one-shot duration, approximately 10 ns, ensuring that any reflection encounters low impedance at the source driver.
