A precision analog component requires careful layout. The following list provides some insight into good layout practices.
- Bypass the VDD to ground with a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor. The typical recommended bypass capacitance is 0.1-µF to 0.22-µF ceramic capacitor, with a X7R or NP0 dielectric.
- Bypass VREF to ground with low ESR ceramic
bypass capacitors.
- Place power supplies and REF bypass capacitors close to the pins to minimize inductance and optimize performance.
- The output pin, VOUT, has relatively high
impedance and is susceptible to high parasitic
capacitance. Use short and direct traces when
routing VOUT.
