PRODUCTION DATA.
Low inductance grounding is critical for achieving optimum performance. Grounding inductance is kept below 1 nH with 15-mil grounding vias and a printed circuit board (PCB) layout design that has at least four layers. Place all critical components of the signal chain on the top layer with a solid analog ground from subsequent inner layers to minimize via length to ground.
For lowest inductance grounding, connect the GND pins of the ADS891xB (pin 11 and pin 15) directly to the device thermal pad and place at least four 8-mil grounding vias on the device thermal pad.
