11.1 Layout Guidelines

  • DAC RF output traces
    • Differential 100 Ω co-planar wave guide for output traces is recommended.
    • Use short RF traces. Place DAC close to edge of PCB to shorten the length of output and clock traces. This helps to minimize PCB loss and coupling
    • Stitch the ground plane with ground vias uniformly along the output trace.
    • Avoid width/spacing differences when entering a landing pad (eg. a balun) by tapering or by redefining width/space rules for the traces
  • Power supply planes
    • Ensure sufficient lateral spacing between two power planes (about 3x the thickness of the plane is recommended)
    • Insert ground plane between adjacent power planes where possible
      • DAC38RF82 DAC38RF89 Layout_power_SLASEA3.pngFigure 150. Example Power Plane Routing
  • Bypass Capacitors
    • Use bypass capacitors with in-pad vias and place between the pin and the power plane. Avoid sharing ground vias or pads of bypass caps used for different power rails
    • Minimize stubs on bypass capacitors to avoid parasitic inductance

  • High speed SerDes traces
    • Route all SerDes traces straight and minimized sharp curves or serpentines. Route for best signal integrity
    • Some skew between SerDes traces can be tolerated. It is recommended to limit skew between traces to 320ps or less
    • Place ground planes between the SerDes traces for improved isolation
