GROUNDING RULES

The AD565A and AD566A use separate reference and power

grounds to allow optimum connections for low noise and high

speed performance. These grounds should be tied together at one

point, usually the device power ground. The separate ground

returns minimize current flow in low level signal paths. In this

way, logic return currents are not summed into the same return

path with analog signals.

CAUTION

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily

accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the

AD565A/AD566A features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on

devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are

recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
