Power Supply Connections and Ground Planes Use of a 10 μF electrolytic capacitor between VCC and VEE is Use of one low impedance ground plane is recommended. The recommended at the location where the 3.3 V supply enters the VEE pins should be soldered directly to the ground plane to PCB. When using 0.1 μF and 1 nF ceramic chip capacitors, they reduce series inductance. If the ground plane is an internal should be placed between the IC power supply VCC and VEE, plane and connections to the ground plane are made through as close as possible to the ADN2890 VCC pins. vias, multiple vias can be used in parallel to reduce the series If connections to the supply and ground are made through vias, inductance, especially on Pin 9, which is the ground return for the use of multiple vias in parallel helps to reduce series the output buffers. The exposed pad should be connected to the inductance, especially on Pin 12, which supplies power to the GND plane using filled vias so that solder does not leak through high speed OUTP/OUTN output buffers. Refer to the schematic the vias during reflow. Using filled vias under the package in Figure 8 for recommended connections.
