For device reliability, the following common
printed-circuit board layout guidelines are recommended.
- Bypass capacitors should be used on power supplies, and should be placed as
close as possible to the VCCA, VCCB pin and GND pin.
- Short trace lengths should be used to avoid excessive loading.
- PCB signal trace-lengths must be kept short enough so that the round-trip delay
of any reflection is less than the one shot duration, approximately 10ns, making
sure that any reflection encounters low impedance at the source driver.
