Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project that has a pulse generation block, a sensitive analog block and a digital block. There's also a power block that supplies power to each block using LDOs. The power block is powered by an external power supply.
In a two-layer PCB, each block's ground is isolated on the top layer and joins together on the bottom layer through vias. The entire bottom layer serves as a common ground and connects to the external power supply. The pulse generation block takes in a 50MHz sine wave from a signal generator. I'm wondering if I should place a choke between its ground and the common ground? Or is connecting the ground to the common ground with vias already enough?
Thanks!
