Physical Description
This chapter describes the physical characteristics and PCB layout of the EVM.
The EVM is constructed on a 6-layer, 0.062-inch thick PCB using FR-4 material. The individual layers are
shown in
Figure 4 through Figure 9 . The layout features split analog and digital ground planes; however,
similar performance can be had with careful layout using a single ground plane. Users can connect the
analog and digital ground planes underneath the EVM by soldering the two exposed tinned strips together.
