For this example, follow these
guidelines:
- Isolate outputs using a GND shield. Route all outputs as differential
pairs.
- Isolate outputs to adjacent outputs when generating multiple frequencies.
- Avoid impedance jumps in the fan-in and fan-out areas when possible.
- Use five vias to connect the
thermal pad to a solid GND plane. Full-through vias are preferred.
- Place decoupling capacitors with
small capacitance values very close to the supply pins. Place the decoupling
capacitors on the same layer or on the bottom layer directly underneath the
device. Larger values can be placed farther away. Ferrite beads are recommended
to isolate the different output supplies and the VDD supply.
- Use multiple vias to connect wide
supply traces to the respective power planes.
