The recommended PCB layout for the MAX9984ETP+ is to keep the input and output traces as short as possible, and to use a solid ground plane to reduce noise and EMI. Additionally, it's recommended to place a 10uF capacitor between the VCC and GND pins to filter out noise.
To ensure the MAX9984ETP+ is properly powered up, make sure to connect the VCC pin to a stable 3.3V or 5V power supply, and the GND pin to a solid ground plane. Also, ensure that the input voltage is within the recommended operating range of 2.7V to 5.5V.
The MAX9984ETP+ can handle a maximum current of 100mA per channel, with a total current limit of 200mA for both channels combined.
To configure the MAX9984ETP+ for differential operation, connect the IN+ and IN- pins to the differential signal source, and the OUT+ and OUT- pins to the differential load. For single-ended operation, connect the IN+ pin to the single-ended signal source, and the OUT+ pin to the single-ended load, while leaving the IN- and OUT- pins unconnected.
The typical propagation delay of the MAX9984ETP+ is around 10ns, but this can vary depending on the input signal frequency, amplitude, and load conditions.
