Layout Guidelines

A minimum of four layers is required to accomplish a low EMI PCB design (see Figure 34). Layer stacking should be in the following order (top-to-bottom): high-speed signal layer, ground plane, power plane and low-frequency signal layer.

  • Routing the high-speed traces on the top layer avoids the use of vias (and the introduction of their inductances) and allows for clean interconnects between the isolator and the transmitter and receiver circuits of the data link.
  • Placing a solid ground plane next to the high-speed signal layer establishes controlled impedance for transmission line interconnects and provides an excellent low-inductance path for the return current flow.
  • Placing the power plane next to the ground plane creates additional high-frequency bypass capacitance of approximately 100 pF/in2.
  • Routing the slower speed control signals on the bottom layer allows for greater flexibility as these signal links usually have margin to tolerate discontinuities such as vias.

Suggested placement and routing of ISO1042 bypass capacitors and optional TVS diodes is shown in Figure 35 and Figure 36. In particular, place the VCC2 bypass capacitors on the top layer, as close to the device pins as possible, and complete the connection to the VCC2 and GND2 pins without using vias. Note that the SOIC-16 variant needs two VCC2 bypass capacitor, one on each VCC2 pin.

If an additional supply voltage plane or signal layer is needed, add a second power or ground plane system to the stack to keep it symmetrical. This makes the stack mechanically stable and prevents it from warping. Also the power and ground plane of each power system can be placed closer together, thus increasing the high-frequency bypass capacitance significantly.
