3.1.1 Recommended Layout Practices

AM13E230x real-time control systems typically include low-level analog, high-speed digital, and high-power (switching) circuits. It is recommended to section off each of these different types of signals and separate them on the PCB. Analog signals are most sensitive to the other two types of signals, as high current paths and high frequency signals can be disruptive to analog signals.

For this reason, it is important to take care when designing the pinout of the MCU, and is why utilization of the SysConfig tool is strongly encouraged when assigning MCU pins to signals. Not only does grouping these types of signals at the MCU pinout level make signal routing easier and more optimized, but it helps to guarantee that different signal types will be separate once fanned out from the MCU package.
