Hello Carson,

470nF capacitor is used as decoupling purpose and bead is for isolation of GND.
Consider the case that ferrite bead is not placed. Now when 470nF cap will 
decouple high frequency noise, it will be spread in to GND of circuit which may 
further affect GND of ADC due to common GND.
Now if we place the bead then decoupled noise will be prevented to reach to ADC 
GND.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Nachiket Wawoo

Hi,
My first post on the reflector! :)

I was looking through some documentation for the Xilinx FPGAs and came across 
this schematic diagram (page 72 - UG480 - 
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug480_7Series_XADC.pdf
)

This is meant to be a circuit to filter or prevent high frequency noise from 
coupling onto the inbuilt ADC of the FPGA.

I do not quite understand the intention of Xilinx to recommend the ferrite bead 
on the low-side. Xilinx says it is to provide high frequency isolation. 
However, as I see it, the 470nF capacitor as shown will provide an AC path for 
the high frequency noise of the ground to couple into VCCADC anyway??

Regards,
Carson Au
