Hi ,
Say for example in our PCB if we have analog gnd, digital ground and chassis
ground and we are going to place this pcb in a chassis ( chassis body forms
chassis gnd).My understanding would be chassis acts as sink for the noise.
So if we r connecting a cap b/w say Dgnd and chassis gnd. In this scenario,
the noise in the Dgnd will get bypassed to the immediate chassis gnd (
provides least impedance path for the noise generated from Dgnd), instead of
allowing this noise to the other part of the digital or analog modules
present in this PCB. Pls correct me if I'm wrong .
Thanks& Regards
Sudeep

connected by capacitors. Can anyone explain why this might be done?
Everything I've seen or heard says this is a bad thing (I would
connect them directly), but I want to be sure I'm not missing
something. I think there are some A/D devices which have specific
guidelines for separating digital and analog grounds, but I don't think
Thanks,
