A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the clock signal traces short and away from noisy signals. Use a common mode filter or a ferrite bead to reduce EMI.
Use a thermal management strategy such as heat sinks, thermal vias, or thermal pads to keep the device within the recommended operating temperature range. Ensure good airflow and avoid thermal hotspots.
Sequence power-on and power-off carefully to avoid voltage glitches. Use a voltage regulator with a low dropout voltage and a high power supply rejection ratio to ensure stable voltage supply.
Use a high-quality clock source with a low jitter oscillator. Route clock signals as differential pairs, and use a clock buffer or repeater to minimize skew and jitter.
Consult the datasheet for recommended PLL settings and clock divider ratios. Ensure the PLL is properly configured for the desired frequency and the clock dividers are set to minimize jitter and skew.
