Texas Instruments recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and to keep the analog and digital signal traces separate. Additionally, it's recommended to use a decoupling capacitor (e.g. 0.1uF) between VCC and GND, and to keep the power supply lines as short as possible.
To ensure the DS96F174MJ-QMLV operates within its specified temperature range, it's recommended to provide adequate heat sinking, use a thermal interface material (e.g. thermal tape or thermal grease) between the device and the heat sink, and to avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures during storage or operation.
Texas Instruments recommends using a 50-ohm termination resistor in series with the input signal, and a 50-ohm termination resistor in parallel with the output signal. Additionally, it's recommended to use a low-pass filter (e.g. RC filter) to filter out high-frequency noise.
To ensure proper operation, it's recommended to power up the device in the following sequence: VCC, then AVCC, then DVCC. When powering down, the sequence should be reversed. Additionally, it's recommended to use a power-on reset (POR) circuit to ensure the device is properly reset during power-up.
To protect the DS96F174MJ-QMLV from electrostatic discharge (ESD), it's recommended to use ESD protection devices (e.g. TVS diodes) on the input and output pins, and to handle the device by the body or use an ESD wrist strap when handling the device.
