Bypass all power supply pins to ground with a
low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor. Bypass capacitors on the VCCx and
VSSx inputs are recommended to be three to four times the total
capacitance on the respective group DAC outputs to make sure the inrush current
does not cause localized supply collapse when the outputs transition to
different voltage output. The typical recommended bypass capacitor has a value
of 1µF and is ceramic with X7R or NP0 dielectric.
Place capacitors on the DAC[0:3], OUT0, and OUT2 pins as close to the device as possible. This placement reduces the impact of parasitic inductance and resistance from the switching path. Parasitic inductance and resistance delays the output settling time.
Connect the thermal pad on the device to a large copper area, preferably a ground plane.
When using the local temperature sensor for the output bias voltage temperature compensations, place the device geographically close to the PA, preferably sharing a solid ground plane for thermal conduction.
