SCPS290A April 2024 – June 2024 TCAL6416R
PRODUCTION DATA
For device reliability, follow common printed circuit board (PCB) layout practices. Additional concerns related to high-speed data transfer, such as matched impedance and differential pairs, are not a concern for I2C signal speeds.
It is a best practice to avoid right angles in signal traces, to fan out signal traces away from each other upon leaving the vicinity of an integrated circuit (IC), and to use thicker trace widths to carry higher amounts of current that commonly pass through power and ground traces in all PCB layouts. Bypass and decoupling capacitors are commonly used to control the voltage on the supply pins. Using a larger capacitor provides additional power in the event of a short power supply glitch, and using a smaller capacitor filters out high-frequency ripple. These capacitors should be placed as close to the TCAL6416R as possible. Figure 8-9 shows these best practices.
