High-speed data routing must follow the same guidelines previously outlined for the serializer layout. Similarly, place the decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the supply pins, with smaller capacitors taking priority in terms of distance to the pin. Minimize the parasitic resistance and inductance to the ground plane with vias and wide traces. For some imagers, a separate analog ground (AGND) plane is recommended to reduce image noise. Connect imager AGND pins, AVDD decoupling capacitors, and the LDO output capacitor to this AGND plane, and connect the plane back to the main ground at a single point.
