For device reliability, following common printed-circuit board layout guidelines is recommended. • Bypass capacitors should be used on power supplies. • Short trace lengths should be used to avoid excessive loading. • PCB signal trace-lengths must be kept short enough so that the round-trip delay of any reflection is less than the one shot duration, approximately 30 ns, and encounters low impedance at the source driver. • Placing pads on the signal paths for loading capacitors or pullup resistors to help adjust rise and fall times of signals depending on the system requirements
