It is important to have proper layout on the COMHP/N and COMLP/N circuits in order to have the best robust daisy chain communication.
- Keep differential traces as short as possible and as straight as possible. Minimize turns and avoid any looping on the traces.
- Keep the differential traces on the same layers. Run the trace in parallel with shielding and matching trace impedance.
- Place the isolation components close to the connectors.
- Create a keep-out area (no other traces and no ground plane) around the daisy chain components in all PCB layers.
