Design Notes

Ensure both VDD1 and VDD2 are within the specified range of 3.0 V to 20 V. Use 0.1 µF decoupling capacitors close to each supply pin to filter high-frequency noise. For optimal performance, place a 10 µF bulk capacitor on each supply rail if the power source is far from the device.

Maintain proper creepage and clearance distances between the primary and secondary sides of the PCB to meet isolation requirements. The ADUM3196ARWZ-RL7 provides galvanic isolation, but the PCB layout must support the isolation rating. Use a slot or barrier under the device to increase creepage distance if needed.

Do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings for supply voltage or input voltage. The input common-mode voltage range is -0.3 V to 20 V; exceeding this can damage the device. Also, ensure the gain-setting resistors are precision types (1% or better) to maintain gain accuracy. Avoid running traces near high-voltage switching nodes to prevent noise coupling.
