10.1 Layout Guidelines

A layout recommendation showing the critical placement of the decoupling capacitors that be placed as close as possible to the AMC1100 while maintaining a differential routing of the input signals is shown in Figure 42.

To maintain the isolation barrier and the common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of the device, keep the distance between the high-side ground (GND1) and the low-side ground (GND2) at a maximum; that is, the entire area underneath the device must be kept free of any conducting materials.
