A typical printed circuit board (PCB) layout for the PCM1690 is shown in Figure 43 . A ground plane is
recommended, with the analog and digital sections being isolated from one another using a split or cut in the
circuit board. The PCM1690 should be oriented with the digital I/O pins facing the ground plane split/cut to allow
for short, direct connections to the digital audio interface and control signals originating from the digital section of
the board.
Separate power supplies are recommended for the digital and analog sections of the board. This configuration
prevents the switching noise present on the digital supply from contaminating the analog power supply and
degrading the dynamic performance of the PCM1690.
