For this device, consider the following guidelines:
- For DC-coupled operation of an HCSL driver, terminate with 50 Ω to ground near the driver output as shown in Figure 11-1.
- Keep the connections between the bypass capacitors and the power supply on the device as short as possible.
- Ground the other side of the capacitor using a low impedance connection to the ground plane.
- If the capacitors are mounted on the back side, 0402 components can be employed. However, soldering to the Thermal Dissipation Pad can be difficult.
- For component side mounting, use 0201 body size capacitors to facilitate signal routing.
