4.2.3 Causes of PoC Noise

There are various system level factors that impact the noise seen on a PoC network. Some potential sources of PoC noise are listed below.

  • Switching regulators – Switching regulators switch the output on and off at a high frequency to step a high voltage DC signal down to a lower voltage. This switching is back fed through the regulator to the input VPoC. The switching frequency is typically in the range of kHz and can travel through the PoC network, degrading the signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Image sensors – Sensors can introduce noise into the system at the frame rate of the sensor due to the varying power demands. This demand peaks during the gathering of valid frame data and drops during the blanking period. This low frequency noise can more easily travel through the PoC network which is designed to block frequencies in the MHz to GHz range.
  • Poor board layout – Not following the guidelines in the data sheet for board layout can lead to signal degradation and extra noise in the system.
  • Environmental noise – Environmental noise is from the surroundings and can behave like white noise. This can impose noise at all frequencies across the spectrum.
