| Sep 16, 2017 at 8:34 | comment | added | Joren Vaes | By not using a solid ground plane, I think. I am not an expert in this, and I usually limit myself to analog PCB's that don't use solid ground planes. | |
| Sep 16, 2017 at 8:24 | comment | added | K.Mulier | Thank you very much @JorenVaes . When you mention "some form of star grounding", how do you practically accomplish that? I mean, how can you make a star ground with solid ground planes? | |
| Sep 16, 2017 at 8:03 | comment | added | Joren Vaes | This is a quite often debated topic, with certain people disagreeing vastly on what you should and shouldn't do (keep grounds separate, or don't keep them separate, etc.). Keep in mind this also depends on what you want to do. For example, with a stable voltage reference you tend to want some form of star-grounding, such that no return currents from other sources can come along and shift your values. A few uV can be enough when you are dealing with 10's of ppm at a few volts precision. | |
