12.1 Layout Guidelines
The ADC34J4x EVM layout can be used as a reference layout to obtain the best performance. A layout diagram
of the EVM top layer is provided in Figure 208. Some important points to remember while laying out the board
are:
1. Analog inputs are located on opposite sides of the device pin out to ensure minimum crosstalk on the
package level. To minimize crosstalk onboard, the analog input traces exit the pin out in opposite directions,
as shown in the reference layout of Figure 208 as much as possible.
2. In the device pin out, the sampling clock is located on a side perpendicular to the analog inputs in order to
minimize coupling between them. This configuration is also maintained on the reference layout of Figure 208
as much as possible.
3. Keep digital outputs away from the analog inputs. When these digital outputs exit the pin out, do not keep the
digital output traces parallel to the analog input traces because this configuration may result in coupling from
digital outputs to analog inputs and degrade performance. Design all digital output traces to the receiver
[such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)] to be
matched in length to avoid skew among outputs.
4. At each power-supply pin (AVDD and DVDD), keep a 0.1-µF decoupling capacitor close to the device. A
separate decoupling capacitor group consisting of a parallel combination of 10-µF, 1-µF, and 0.1-µF
capacitors can be kept close to the supply source.
