Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

If not how should we provide groundung to the layout?

I would hope so.

You can use substrate ties to provide ground to the (usually) p- substrate and/or use I/O pins to ground the chip. Using plenty of substrate ties can also help prevent latch-up in certain cases if high currents are involved.
