Figure 21. Illustrated Layout Guidelines
4.4.1. ISOmodem Layout Check List
Table 34 is a checklist that the designer can use during the layout process to ensure that all the recommendations
in this application note have been implemented. Additionally, Figure 21 provides an annotated diagram of all
relevant layout guidelines for the SI3054 CNR/AMR/ACR applications. See "10.4.2. Safety" on page 254 for
information about design for safety compliance.

Layout Items
Required
1
U1 and U2 are placed so that pins 9–16 of U1 are facing pins 1–8 of U2. C1 and C2
are placed directly between U1 and U2.
2
Place U1, U2, C1, and C2 so that the recommended minimum creepage spacing for
the target application is implemented. R12 and R13 should be close to U1.
3
C1 and C2 should be placed directly between U1 and U2. Short, direct traces should
be used to connect C1 and C2 to U1 and U2. These traces should not be longer than
two inches and should be minimized in length. Place C2 such that its accompanying
trace to the C2B pin (pin 6) on the Si3018 is not close to the trace from R7 to the
RNG1 pin on the Si3018 (pin 8).
4
Place R7 and R8 as close as possible to the RNG1 and RNG2 pins (pins 8 and 9),
ensuring a minimum trace length from the RNG1 or RNG2 pin to the R7 or R8 resistor.
In order to space the R7 component further from the trace from C2 to the C2B pin, it is
acceptable to orient it 90 degrees relative to the RNG1 pin (pin 8).
