Single-Point Power / Ground Connections
The analog power traces should be connected to the digital traces through a single point (link). A "PI-filter" can
be helpful in minimizing high frequency noise coupling between the analog and digital sections. Further, place
digital and analog power traces over the corresponding digital and analog ground traces to minimize noise
coupling.
Placement of Digital and Analog Components
All digital components and high-speed digital signal traces should be located as far away as possible from analog
components and circuit traces.
Avoiding Typical Design / Layout Problems
Avoid ground loops or running digital and analog traces parallel to each other (side-by-side) on the same PCB
layer. When traces must cross over each other do it at 90 degrees. Running digital and analog traces at 90
degrees to each other from the top to the bottom side as much as possible will minimize capacitive noise
coupling and cross talk.
