Grounding Principles in Mixed-Signal Board Docent Li-Rong Zheng & Prof. Hannu Tenhunen Laboratory of Electronics and Computer Systems Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) SE-164 40 Kista, Sweden (lrzheng@imit.kth.se)
Outline • Simultaneous switching noise (SSN) • Non-ideal return path • Ground-referenced and power referenced signals • Grounding principles
Modeling a signal traversing a gap (in nH) D: in cm
Ground Referenceand/or Power reference Dual referenced signal reduces the current through decoupling capacitor
Ground return cannot image to signal flow path and will cause an extra inductance. This inductance will cause switching noise voltage on ground (LdI/dt). If other pins share the same ground, crosstalk is also introduced. Common mode ground noise will result to common mode emission in case of drivers for cables/wires are connected to the same ground Resulting current loop can generate differential mode emission Inductance on ground loops (split-plane ground)
