Applications Information
Supply Bypassing
Bypass each VCC to GND with high-frequency surface-
mount ceramic 0.1F and 0.01F capacitors in parallel
as close to the device as possible, with the 0.01F
capacitor closest to the device. Use multiple parallel
vias to minimize parasitic inductance. When using the
VBB reference output, bypass it with a 0.01F ceramic
capacitor to VCC. If the VBB reference is not used, it
can be left open.
Controlled-Impedance Traces
Input and output trace characteristics affect the perfor-
mance of the MAX9310A. Connect high-frequency
input and output signals to 50
characteristic imped-
ance traces. Minimize the number of vias to prevent
impedance discontinuities. Reduce reflections by main-
taining the 50
characteristic impedance through
cables and connectors. Reduce skew within a differen-
tial pair by matching the electrical length of the traces.
Output Termination
Terminate the outputs with 100
across Q_ and Q_, as
shown in the Typical Application Circuit.
