APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
Parts Placement
All 100 nF bypass capacitors, which are recommended for every
analog, digital, and PLL power-ground pair, should be placed as
The AVDD, DVDD, PVDD, and IOVDD supply signals on the
board should each be bypassed with an additional single bulk
capacitor (10 μF to 47 μF).
All traces in the crystal oscillator circuit
(Figure 9) should be
kept as short as possible to minimize stray capacitance. There
should not be any long board traces connected to crystal
oscillator circuit components because such traces may affect
crystal startup and operation.
Grounding
A single ground plane should be used in the application layout.
Components in an analog signal path should be placed away
from digital signals.
Exposed Pad PCB Design
for improved heat dissipation. When designing a board for such
a package, special consideration should be given to the following:
A copper layer equal in size to the exposed pad should be
on all layers of the board, from top to bottom, and should
connect somewhere to a dedicated copper board layer (see
Vias should be placed to connect all layers of copper, allowing
for efficient heat and energy conductivity. For an example,
the pad area.

PLL Loop Filter
The single resistor and two capacitors in the PLL loop filter
should be connected to the PLL_FILT and PVDD pins with
short traces to minimize jitter.
Power Supply Bypass Capacitors
Each power supply pin should be bypassed to its nearest
appropriate ground pin with a single 100 nF capacitor. The
connections to each side of the capacitor should be as short as
possible, and the trace should stay on a single layer with no vias.
For maximum effectiveness, the capacitor should preferably be
located either equidistant from the power and ground pins or,
when equidistant placement is not possible, slightly closer to the
power pin. Thermal connections to the planes should be made
on the far side of the capacitor.

EOS/ESD Protection
internal protection circuitry against overvoltages and electrostatic
discharge, an external transient voltage suppressor (TVS) is
recommended for all systems to prevent damage to the IC.
