11.1 Layout Guidelines

To ensure reliability of the device, TI recommends following common printed-circuit board layout guidelines.

• Bypass capacitors must be used on power supplies.
• Short trace lengths must be used to avoid excessive loading.
• Placing pads on the signal paths for loading capacitors or pullup resistors helps adjust rise and fall times of signals depending on the system requirements.
