PCB design guidelines for dual power supply voltage translators

The design of the PCB is an important factor in maximizing the performance of a dual power supply voltage translator. The PCB design guidelines presented in this document offer the following benefits:

? Effective power supply decoupling is provided by placing ceramic capacitors next to the IC with minimum length connection traces
? Short PCB traces and ground planes reduce RF

susceptibility and radiated emissions
? Robust ESD and EMI protection is achieved by placing transient voltage suppressors diodes next to the I/O connector
