Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

One of the most common challenges that board- and system-level engineers face in designing an amplifier driver for a precision successive approximation register (SAR) is optimizing the effective ...

In Part 2 we related the impact on signal quality to some possible real-world basic signal and shield grounding choices (both the good and the bad). But, even in that brief discussion, it is clear ...
