Table 1 shows the wide range of high-speed ADC’s available from Intersil. Maintaining the accuracy of these converters in a high-speed environment can be quite a challenge. This note will point out considerations for board layout, grounding, power management, and suggest various support circuits. The cost of multilayer boards has decreased to the point where they are now commonly used with high-speed mixed signal circuits. This technology enables the use of solid ground and power planes which will result in the lowest impedance possible while minimizing any shared impedances. Figure 1 illustrates the sequencing of the layers used on the HI1276 evaluation board. The dimensions called out were those required to achieve 50Ω microstrip for the signal lines.
