GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
Figure 10 is the suggested layout for the CS4297.
The decoupling capacitors should be located phys-
ically as close to the pins as possible. Also note the
routing of the REFFLT decoupling capacitors and
the isolation of that ground strip.
It is also recommended that the common connec-
tion point between the two ground planes (required
to maintain a common ground voltage potential) be
located near the CS4297 just under the digital
ground connections (vias). The AC-Link digital in-
terface connection traces should be routed such that
digital ground plane lies underneath these signals
(on the internal ground layer) from the AC’97 Con-
troller continuously to the CS4297.
It is strongly recommended that the device be locat-
ed on a locally separate analog ground plane. This
analog ground plane is used to keep noise from dig-
ital ground return currents from modulating the
CS4297’s ground potential and degrading perfor-
mance. The digital ground pins should be connect-
