Hi, Assuming we are putting our mixed signal chip into a package with solder mask on the paddle, namely the substrate will not be connected to ground (Its a mixed signal chip, analog and digital on the same die). 1) When looking at substrate noise and digital affecting analog circuit, do you find this solution the most optimal 2) Does a conductive glue or a non conductive glue is the best option for separation? 3) Any idea of how to measure the difference (Apart from chip functionality comparison).? thanks in advance, yehuda ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yehuda D.
