PCB LAYOUT
The PCB is designed on a four layer (1 oz. Cu) board. Compo-
nents and routing are on the top layer with a ground flood for
additional isolation. Test and ground points were judiciously
placed to facilitate high speed probing. Each channel has a
separate 25-pin connector for it’s digital outputs. A common
ground plane exists on the second layer.
The third layer has the 3 split power planes:
1. 5 V analog for the ADC and preamps,
2. 3.3 V (or 5 V) ADC output supply, and
3. A separate 3.3 V supply for support logic. The fourth layer
contains the –5 V plane for the preamps and additional
components and routing. There is additional space for two
extra components on top of the board to allow for modification.
