There is a decoupling capacitor for each power pin and a bulk capacitor for each rail.
Place the decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the power pin, then place the
bulk capacitor.
shows an example where C9 is the decoupling capacitor for K5
pin. In this example, place C9 as close as possible to K5 pin, and place C58 close to
C9.

Do not place any analog power plane (trace) as ring and loop in the layout.
shows the correct top layer (left hand side of the figure) and the incorrect top layer
(right hand side). In the correct top layer, there is no loop on the AVDD18 net.
