The following image shows an example of a PCB
layout with the TMUX9616x. Some key considerations are as follows:
- For reliable operation,
connect at least one decoupling capacitor of at least 0.1 µF of capacitance
between VDD and VSS to GND. The TMUX9616 EVM uses a
0.1 µF in parallel with a 1 µF capacitor. It is recommended to place the
lowest value capacitor as close to the pin as possible. Ensure that the
capacitor voltage rating is sufficient for the supply voltage.
- Keep the input lines as short as possible.
- Use a solid ground plane to help distribute heat and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) 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 necessary.
