Today, designers use numerousEDA toolsfor schematics generation, such as Altium Designer, Allegro, Pads, Kicad, Tinycad, Express PCB, and Zuken. Highlights: Adhere to net labeling, off-page connections, and signal flow representation guidelines to minimize visual complexity. ...
Using a common ground versus split ground strategy to minimize inductance, dissipate thermal heat, and reduce noise coupling between motor switching and analog/digital signals Addition of bulk capacitance to suppress excessive current demands or dumps from the supply ...
It is common that a board with ubiquitous analog functionality will have some digital section. Analog and digital portions of the devices should be split into different sections above a uniformground plane. This is a complex type of design at moderate to high frequencies (~MHz and higher) as ...
