12.1 Layout Guidelines
PCB design is made considering the application, and the review is specific for each system's requirements. However, general considerations can optimize the system performance.
- The TLV320AIC3106-Q1 thermal pad must be connected to analog output driver ground using multiple vias to minimize impedance from the device to ground.
- Analog and digital grounds must be separated to prevent possible digital noise from affecting the analog performance of the board.
- The TLV320AIC3106-Q1 requires the decoupling capacitors to be placed as close as possible to the device power supply terminals.
- TI recommends routing the differential audio signals differentially on the PCB for better noise immunity.
