Adeel, Your task does not fit into my definition of fun ... Here my 2 cents: 1. The most sensible thing in my eyes is to separate analog and digital +5V already at the connector and to run the analog voltage through a ferrite bead or even a more elaborate filter depending on the application. 2. The required value is a typical one I know from neigboured VCC/GND planes in multilayer PCBs with thin substrates and a couple of holes because of vias. I do not have any simulations on that. Maybe somebody else will turn up with the right values? Running a 2-layer PCB on that kind of frequency is not a sensible thing in my eyes ... Hope the people charging you with this task will have a second thought on the specifications. Best regards, Michael Again - just my 2 cents :) -----Original Message----- From: Adeel Malik [mailto:AdeelM@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Mittwoch, 6.

The power supplies provided to the board are +5V, -24V and -48V, through a DIN-96 connector. I have two questions: 1. Digital components would be fed directly from +5V supply whereas I have to generate +5V Analog (for Analog ICs) from +5V supply. How should I do that so that transients at +5V due to digital IC's are not coupled to +5V Analog ?. 2. Secondly, I require the impedance of power tracks not more than 0.1 Ohms at frequencies upto 50MHz. What should be the optimum dimensions of these tracks (+5V and its ground) ?. Also I 'ld appreciate if someone can guide me to an Application/Design note describing power/ground layout on a double-layer PCB for a multiple-supply instrument. I' ld be thankful to your response, Regards, Adeel Malik, Senior Design Engineer, Communications Enabling Technologies, 5-A Constitution Avenue, Islamabad, Pakistan.
