Power and Ground Recommendations

When connecting power to the AD9467, it is recommended

that three separate supplies be used: one for analog AVDD1 and

AVDD3 (1.8 V), one for analog AVDD2 (3.3 V), and one for

digital output drivers DRVDD (1.8 V). If only one 1.8 V supply

is available, it should be routed to AVDD1 and AVDD3 first and

then tapped off and isolated with a ferrite bead or a filter choke

preceded by decoupling capacitors for the DRVDD. The user

can employ several different decoupling capacitors to cover

both high and low frequencies. These should be located close to

the point of entry at the PC board level and close to the parts,

with minimal trace lengths.

A single PC board ground plane should be sufficient when

using the AD9467. With proper decoupling and smart parti-

tioning of the PC board’s analog, digital, and clock sections,

optimum performance can be easily achieved.

Exposed Paddle Thermal Heat Slug Recommendations

It is required that the exposed paddle on the underside of the

ADC be connected to analog ground (AGND) to achieve the

best electrical and thermal performance of the AD9467. An

exposed continuous copper plane on the PCB should be con-

nected to the AD9467 exposed paddle, Pin 0. The copper plane

should have several vias to achieve the lowest possible resistive

thermal path for heat dissipation to flow through the bottom of

the PCB. These vias should be solder-filled or plugged.

To maximize the coverage and adhesion between the ADC and

PCB, partition the continuous copper plane by overlaying a

silkscreen on the PCB into several uniform sections. This provides

several tie points between the ADC and PCB during the reflow

process, whereas using one continuous plane with no partitions

only guarantees one tie point. See Figure 69 for a PCB layout

example. For detailed information on packaging and the PCB

layout of chip scale packages, see the AN-772 Application Note,

A Design and Manufacturing Guide for the Lead Frame Chip

Scale Package (LFCSP).
