11 Layout

11.1 Layout Guidelines

  • In a 4-layer board design, the recommended layer stack order from top to bottom is: signal, ground, power and signal.
  • Bypass capacitors should be placed in close proximity to the VDD and VIO pins.
  • The length of the START and STOP traces from the DUT to the stopwatch/MCU should be matched to prevent uneven signal delays. Also, avoid unnecessary via-holes on these traces and keep the routing as short/direct as possible to minimize parasitic capacitance on the PCB.
  • Match the length (or resistance) of the traces leading to the RTD sensors. PCB series resistance will be added in series to the RTD sensors.
  • Route the SPI signal traces close together. Place a series resistor at the source of SDO (close to the DUT) and series resistors at the sources of SDI, SCLK and CSB (close to the master MCU).
