For device reliability, it is recommended to follow common printed-circuit board layout guidelines such as follows:

• Bypass capacitors should be used on power supplies.
• Short trace lengths should 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 30ns, and encounters low impedance at the source driver.
• Placing pads on the signal paths for loading capacitors or pullup resistors to help adjust rise and fall times of signals depending on the system requirements
