Make sure that the connection to the VDD pin is low impedance.
Good analog design practice is to place a greater than 0.1µF ceramic capacitor
as near as possible to the VDD pin.
To further improve the noise immunity on the SENSE pins, either
use the CTS feature with a 100pF capacitor or place a 10nF to 100nF capacitor on
the SENSE pin.
If a capacitor is used on CTS or CTR, place these components as
close as possible to the respective pins. If the capacitor adjustable pins are
left unconnected, make sure to minimize the amount of parasitic capacitance on
the pins to less than 20pF as this affects the delay of CTS and CTR.
To further improve the noise immunity on the SENSE pins, either use the CTS
feature with a 100pF capacitor or place a 10nF to 100nF capacitor on the SENSE
pin.
Place the AOUT stability capacitor as close as possible to the pin.
For the open-drain outputs, place the pull-up resistors on OUT
A, OUT B, and BIST as close to the pin as possible.
When laying out metal traces,
separate high voltage traces from low voltage traces as much as possible. If
high and low voltage traces need to run close by, spacing between traces must be
greater than 20mils (0.5mm).
Do not have high voltage metal
pads or traces closer than 20mils (0.5mm) to the low voltage metal pads or
traces.
