ADC: Analog-to-Digital Converter, converting analog signals into digital signals for processing by digital devices.

DAC: Digital-to-Analog Converter, converting digital signals into analog signals for external interfaces.

Layout Requirements:
-
Avoid placing the power module near the front-end analog input.
-
Keep the power to load path short to reduce transmission noise coupling.
-
Place high-frequency decoupling capacitors close to the chip power pins.
-
Compact layout for the input front stage.
-
Use a “1” shaped layout, avoiding U-shaped and L-shaped layouts.
-
Implement π attenuation and π filtering layout functions.


-
For multiple identical circuit structures, use a symmetrical layout; ensure consistent trace lengths.
Consistency and phase alignment.

-
Increase the layout spacing between multiple channels.
-
Add shielding cavities or shielding walls.

-
Wiring Requirements:
-
Minimize loop power splitting.
-
In addition to considering that the analog power layout should not be close to the front-end input, the transmission path should be as short as possible, with minimal loops to reduce power noise introduction.

-
Control attenuation of the shortest analog front stage traces.
-
Minimize wiring length.
-
Control reference impedance in layers, increase wiring width.
-
Use rounded corners and gradual transitions in traces.
-
Use layer 2 for cutouts and layer 3 for grounding under the analog area.

-
Impedance Continuity Control – Pad Layer Treatment
-
Device pads are the most significant factor for impedance discontinuity in the wiring link; layer isolation can reduce the impedance changes caused by variations in pad and trace width.
Use layer 2 for cutouts and layer 3 for grounding under the analog area.

-
Shielding Ground Treatment
-
The size of the shielding ground hole spacing determines the amount of EMC radiation leakage; the smaller the distance, the better.
-
Smaller shielding ground hole distances help reduce interference isolation for digital-to-analog and multiple analog front stages, especially when the distance is ≤ λ/20.
-
Analog grounding helps reduce interference, but if the distance is too small, it may increase signal loss; grounding distance should be ≥ 1.5W width.
Cover the analog area with shielding ground and create λ/20 shielding ground holes around the analog traces.

-
Multiple Isolation Treatment
-
All power and ground planes need to use separation grooves to cut off the noise coupling loops from multiple AD inputs, reducing coupling paths between multiple channels.

-
Digital and Analog Common Ground Treatment
-
The common ground bridge does not provide a signal return path, only serves as an equipotential short circuit.
-
The width of the bridge should not be too wide, recommended around 60 mils.
-
Use 20-30 mils for isolation grooves.
-
It is recommended to place it near the ADC chip, but not directly under the chip.

-
Ferrite Bead Bridge Grounding
-
The common ground bridge does not provide a signal return path, only serves as an equipotential short circuit.
-
For multiple ADCs, it is best to have one pair share a common bridge.

-
Analog Area Plane Treatment
-
All layers in the analog area must be completely isolated, and all layers in the analog area should be grounded.
-
Digital signal wiring is prohibited from entering this area.
-
Power supply for the analog area should use signal layers for copper or traces.
