LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS 
POWER AND GROUND RECOMMENDATIONS 
When connecting power to the AD9233, it is recommended 
that two separate supplies be used: one for analog (AVDD, 1.8 V 
nominal) and one for digital (DRVDD, 1.8 V to 3.3 V nominal). 
If only a single 1.8 V supply is available, then it should be routed 
to AVDD first, then tapped off and isolated with a ferrite bead 
or filter choke with decoupling capacitors preceding its con-
nection to DRVDD. The user can employ several different 
decoupling capacitors to cover both high and low frequencies. 
These should be located close to the point of entry at the PC 
board level and close to the parts with minimal trace length. 
A single PC board ground plane should be sufficient when 
using the AD9233. With proper decoupling and smart parti-
tioning of the analog, digital, and clock sections of the board, 
optimum performance is easily achieved.  
Exposed Paddle Thermal Heat Slug Recommendations 
It is required that the exposed paddle on the underside of the 
ADC is connected to analog ground (AGND) to achieve the 
best electrical and thermal performance of the AD9233. An 
exposed, continuous copper plane on the PCB should mate to 
the AD9233 exposed paddle, Pin 0. The copper plane should 
have several vias to achieve the lowest possible resistive thermal 
path for heat dissipation to flow through the bottom of the PCB. 
These vias should be solder filled or plugged. 
To maximize the coverage and adhesion between the ADC and 
PCB, partition the continuous plane by overlaying a silkscreen 
on the PCB into several uniform sections. This provides several 
tie points between the two during the reflow process. Using one 
continuous plane with no partitions only guarantees one tie 
point between the ADC and PCB. See Figure 58 for a PCB 
layout example. For detailed information on packaging and the 
PCB layout of chip scale packages, see Application Note

CML 
The CML pin should be decoupled to ground with a 0.1 μF 
capacitor, as shown in Figure 38
RBIAS 
The AD9233 requires the user to place a 10 kΩ resistor between 
the RBIAS pin and ground. This resister sets the master current 
reference of the ADC core and should have at least a 1% tolerance.  
REFERENCE DECOUPLING 
The VREF pin should be externally decoupled to ground with a 
low ESR 1.0 μF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 μF ceramic low 
ESR capacitor. In all reference configurations, REFT and REFB 
are bypass points provided for reducing the noise contributed 
by the internal reference buffer. It is recommended to place an 
external 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor across REFT/REFB. While it is 
not required to place this 0.1 μF capacitor, the SNR performance 
will degrade by approximately 0.1 dB without it. All reference 
decoupling capacitors should be placed as close to the ADC as 
possible with minimal trace lengths.
