A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated analog ground plane, proper decoupling, and a star-connection for the analog and digital supplies is recommended. Keep the analog and digital traces separate and avoid crossing them.
Perform a full-scale calibration after power-up, and consider implementing a periodic calibration routine to compensate for temperature and voltage variations. Refer to the datasheet for calibration register settings.
Use a low-jitter clock source (<100 ps) and ensure the clock signal is properly terminated. A clock frequency of 100 MHz or higher is recommended for optimal performance.
Use a reliable digital interface (e.g., LVDS or CMOS) and ensure proper signal termination. Implement error detection and correction mechanisms, such as CRC or ECC, to ensure data integrity.
Ensure good airflow around the device, and consider using a heat sink or thermal pad to dissipate heat. Keep the device within the recommended operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C).
