Supply Voltage
The output is AC coupled. Most commonly used with external coupling capacitor. 0.001 to 0.01µF recommended.
Connect an appropriate power supply bypass capacitor as close as possible
Note
If this function is not specified, recommend connecting this pad to ground.
For Optimum Jitter Performance, Pletronics recommends:

A ground plane under the device
Do not route large transient signals (both current and voltage) under the device
Do not place near a large magnetic field such as a high frequency switching power supply
Do not place near piezoelectric buzzers or mechanical fans
