Layout Considerations
The inputs and outputs are critical paths for the
MAX3622, and care should be taken to minimize dis-
continuities on these transmission lines. Here are some
suggestions for maximizing the MAX3622’s perfor-
mance:
• An uninterrupted ground plane should be posi-
tioned beneath the clock I/Os.
• Supply and ground pin vias should be placed
close to the IC and the input/output interfaces to
allow a return current path to the MAX3622 and the
receive devices.
• Supply decoupling capacitors should be placed
close to the MAX3622 supply pins.
• Maintain 100Ω differential (or 50Ω single-ended)
transmission line impedance out of the MAX3622.
• Use good high-frequency layout techniques and a
multilayer board with an uninterrupted ground
plane to minimize EMI and crosstalk.
Refer to the MAX3622 Evaluation Kit for more information.
