The power supply and ADC voltage reference pins for the ADS131B26-Q1 are bypassed with ceramic capacitors placed close to the supply pins. Additionally, the EVM layout uses thick traces or large copper fill areas, where possible, between bypass capacitors and loads to minimize inductance along the load current path.
The EVM schematic lists the analog and digital grounds (AGND and DGND) as separate net names for the purpose of circuit illustration. However, these two nets are connected on the EVM by a net-tie on the bottom signal layer. Proper component placement and solid ground pours are important to make sure that the lowest noise and highest accuracy is used in any precision ADC application. See Section 7.2 for more suggested layout practices.
