JAJSFA9E November 2011 – April 2018 ADS5294
PRODUCTION DATA.
A single ground plane is sufficient to give good performance, provided the analog, digital, and clock sections of the board are cleanly partitioned. See the ADS5294VM Evaluation Module (SLAU355) for placement of components, routing, and grounding.
Because the ADS5294 already includes internal decoupling, minimal external decoupling can be used without loss in performance. For example, the ADS5294EVM uses a single 0.1-µF decoupling capacitor for each supply, placed close to the device supply pins.
The exposed pad at the bottom of the package is the main path for heat dissipation. Solder the pad to a ground plane on the PCB for best thermal performance. The pad must be connected to the ground plane through the optimum number of vias.
