Figure 8-6 illustrates an example of a printed-circuit board (PCB) layout using the REF30.
Some key considerations are:
- Connect low-ESR, 0.1μF
ceramic bypass capacitors at VIN of the REF30.
- Decouple other active devices
in the system per the device specifications.
- Use a solid ground plane to
help distribute heat and reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise
pickup.
- Place the external components
as close to the device as possible. This configuration prevents parasitic
errors (such as the Seebeck effect) from occurring.
- Minimize trace length between
the reference and bias connections to the INA and ADC to reduce noise
pickup.
- Do not run sensitive analog
traces in parallel with digital traces. Avoid crossing digital and analog
traces if possible, and only make perpendicular crossings when absolutely
necessary.
