Hi Ken,

I just checked the layout and found that there are four pins for
connecting the shield pins to ground and we have used a zero ohms
between shield pin and ground. Is this ok to do so or should i have
solid ground connection to the shield pins. Also if i replace the zero
ohms with ferrite bead, will it help?

Regards
Vinod A H
