Figure 10-3 shows an example of a PCB layout for a data acquisition system using the REF35-Q1. Some
key considerations are:
- Connect low-ESR, 0.1 μF ceramic bypass
capacitors at VIN, VREF of the REF35-Q1.
- Decouple other active devices in the
system per the device specifications.
- Using a solid ground plane helps
distribute heat and reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise pickup.
- Place the external components as close
to the device as possible.
- 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.
Figure 10-4 shows the pin compatibility with TI REF31xx series reference in the 3-pin SOT-23 package
when using the REF35xxx family footprint. You must rotate the REF31xx reference device by
180º before assembly.
