Design Notes
The AD9371BBCZ-REEL requires multiple supply rails: 1.3 V core, 1.8 V I/O, and various analog supplies. Use low-noise LDOs or switching regulators with proper filtering to achieve the specified noise performance. Place decoupling capacitors close to each supply pin, with a mix of 100 nF and 10 uF values. Refer to the datasheet's power supply recommendations for optimal performance.
With a typical power dissipation of 5 W, the AD9371BBCZ-REEL requires adequate thermal management. The 196-ball CSP_BGA package has an exposed pad that must be soldered to a thermal via array on the PCB. Ensure the ground plane provides a low thermal resistance path. For high ambient temperatures, consider adding a heatsink or forced airflow. Monitor junction temperature to stay within the -40°C to +85°C operating range.
For optimal RF performance, use controlled impedance traces for the RF inputs and outputs. Keep the RF traces as short as possible and avoid vias in the signal path. Use ground vias around RF traces to minimize coupling. The JESD204B high-speed digital lines should be routed with matched lengths and proper termination. Follow the layout guidelines in the datasheet and evaluation board documentation.
