Power-Supply Bypassing
and Ground Management
The MAX9532 operates from a 3V to 3.6V single supply
and requires proper layout and bypassing. For the best
performance, place the components as close as possi-
ble to the device.
Proper grounding improves performance and prevents
any switching noise from coupling into the video signal.
Bypass the analog supply (V
DD
) with a 1µF capacitor to
GND, placed as close as possible to the device.
Bypass CPVSS to GND with a 1µF ceramic capacitor in
parallel with a 10nF low-ESR capacitor. The bypass
capacitors should be placed as close as possible to
the device.
