board is dedicated to ground planes while signals are
placed on the solder side.
Good decoupling is important when using high-resolu-
tion ADCs. Decouple all analog supplies with 10µF tan-
talum capacitors in parallel with 0.1µF HF ceramic
capacitors to AGND. Place these components as close
to the device as possible to achieve the best decou-
pling.
See the MAX1402 evaluation kit manual for the recom-
mended layout. The evaluation board package includes
a fully assembled and tested evaluation board.
Optical Isolation
For applications that require an optically isolated
interface, refer to Figure 21. With 6N136-type optocou-
plers, maximum clock speed is 4MHz. Maximum clock
speed is limited by the degree of mismatch between
the individual optocouplers. Faster optocouplers allow
faster signaling at a higher cost.
