PRODUCTION DATA
PCB layout plays a significant role for achieving desired ac and dc performance from the DAC11001B. The DAC11001B has a pinout that supports easy splitting of the noisy and quiet grounds. The digital signals are available on two adjacent sides of the device; whereas, the power and analog signals are available separate sides. Figure 10-4 shows an example layout, where the different ground planes have been clearly demarcated. The figure also shows the best positions for the single-point shorts between the ground planes. For best power-supply bypassing, place the bypass capacitors close to the respective power pins as shown. Provide unbroken ground reference planes for the digital signal traces, especially for the SPI and LDAC signals.
