I am creating a mixed signal PCB which has two separate supplies: A buck converter for the digital section and an LDO Regulator for the analog one.
Each regulator steps down 5 V from a USB-C supply to 3.3 V. The digital section draws up to 3A, while the analog section draws up to 500 mA.
For the digital side, I am using a TPSM82864AA0SRDJR Buck Converter (lower regulator on the picture, 2.4 MHz switching frequency) and for the analog section, an AMS1117-3.3V, both powered by the VBUS supply line (USB-C, see schematic on the top left).
I have placed a Pi filter consisting of two 1 µF capacitors and a ferrite bead (capable of handling the needed current) in order to suppress the high-frequency noise from the (usually very noisy) USB-C supply rail before reaching my voltage regulators.
I want to ask if this Pi filter arrangement is a good idea considered my regulator setup, or if a different approach would be more appropriate.
Thank you very much in advance. Greetings, Leandro.
Something like this is far more readable. It's not perfect - lines could be thicker and general visibility could be improved, but it gives an idea.
