The recommended layout and placement for the MAX1361EUB+ involves keeping the analog and digital grounds separate, using a solid ground plane, and placing the device close to the analog signal sources to minimize noise. Additionally, it's recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated analog power plane and a dedicated digital power plane.
To ensure the MAX1361EUB+ is properly powered and decoupled, use a high-quality, low-ESR capacitor (e.g., 10uF ceramic) between the VCC and GND pins, and a 100nF ceramic capacitor between the VCC and AVCC pins. Also, use a separate analog power plane and a separate digital power plane to minimize noise.
The MAX1361EUB+ has a maximum data transfer rate of 100kbps in asynchronous mode and 1Mbps in synchronous mode.
To configure the MAX1361EUB+ for synchronous mode, connect the SYNC pin to the clock signal, set the MODE pin to logic high, and ensure the clock frequency is within the specified range (1MHz to 1.5MHz).
The recommended clock frequency for the MAX1361EUB+ is between 1MHz and 1.5MHz, with a typical value of 1.25MHz.
