ADS5463: ADS5463 PCB recommendation

Part Number: ADS5463

Hi Sir,

Could you please help recommend the PCB layout requirement for the ADS5463?

What's the impedance for the input PCB trace for the ADS5463 pin16 and pin17 ?

Do I need to use microstrip?

Do I need add void under the input pins(pin 16 and pin17) of ADS5463?

What's the impedance for the output of ADS5463? 

Thanks!

  • Hi Feng,

    The PCB traces are 50ohm impedance. Microstrip or stripline is fine to use. Microstrips are easier to acquire a signal and troubleshoot. So this is typically the way we would layout the EVM.

    Voiding is only need to help improve the impedance. This is typically done when a smaller trace is used in conjunction with a larger pad. The larger pad causes a discontinuity in the 50ohm impedance, This would be where the void is created and on the next layer down.

    We are happy to review your pcb/board layout when your design is ready.

    Regards,
