using a split ground plane arranged to match the physi-
cal location of the analog ground (GND) and the digital
output driver ground (OGND) on the ADC's package.

The two ground planes should be joined at a single
point so that the noisy digital ground currents do not
interfere with the analog ground plane. The ideal loca-
tion of this connection can be determined experimen-
tally at a point along the gap between the two ground
planes that produces optimum results. Make this con-
nection with a low-value, surface-mount resistor (1

Ω to

5

Ω), a ferrite bead, or a direct short. Alternatively, all

ground pins could share the same ground plane if the
ground plane is sufficiently isolated from any noisy, dig-
ital systems ground plane (e.g., downstream output

buffer or DSP ground plane). Route high-speed digital
signal traces away from sensitive analog traces. Keep
all signal lines short and free of 90° turns.

Static Parameter Definitions

Integral Nonlinearity

Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the deviation of the values
on an actual transfer function from a straight line. This
straight line can be either a best straight-line fit or a line
drawn between the endpoints of the transfer function
once offset and gain errors have been nullified. The
MAX1448’s static linearity parameters are measured
using the best straight-line fit method.
