Place the external components as close to the device as
possible. This configuration prevents parasitic errors from occurring.
Avoid using long traces for
the VDD supply node. The VDD capacitor, along with parasitic inductance from
the supply to the capacitor, can form an LC circuit and create ringing with
peak voltages above the maximum VDD voltage.
Avoid using long traces of voltage to the MON pin. Long
traces increase parasitic inductance and cause inaccurate monitoring and
diagnostics.
If differential voltage
sensing is required for MON1 and/or MON2 route RS_1/2 pin to the point of
measurement
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 absolutely necessary.
