A precision analog component requires
careful layout, the list below provides some insight into good layout practices.
- Bypass all power supply pins to ground with a low ESR ceramic
bypass capacitor. The typical recommended bypass capacitance is 0.1µF to 0.22µF
ceramic with a X7R or NP0 dielectric.
- Place power supplies and REF bypass capacitors close to the
pins to minimize inductance and optimize performance.
- Use a high-quality, ceramic, type NP0 or X7R for optimized
performance across temperature, and very low dissipation factor.
- The digital and analog sections must have proper placement with
respect to the digital pins and analog pins of the DAC60516 device. The separation of analog and digital blocks minimizes
coupling into neighboring blocks, as well as interaction between analog and
digital return currents.
