4.5 Analog and Digital Separation

As another reiteration, splitting the analog and digital ground (and their supply) is good practice. However, if this is not done well, it could lead to worse performance. The benefit of analog/digital separation is that it ensures that signals cannot cross the isolation boundary, except in cases where the signals crossing are static. The split signals should connect at only point, ideally being the source of the signal. This connection could be a ferrite bead, a simple resistor, or even a break in a plane. Note that ferrite beads provide negligible capacitance and low DC resistance. When electing to use a ferrite bead, undergo proper simulation to ensure that the ferrite bead is properly filtering noise and not limiting current to the device. If proper analog and digital separation cannot be achieved, a designer should consider using just a single ground plane.

The C2000 device is designed to have an “analog corner” whereby all of the analog pins of the device are located. The source for many of these ADC inputs usually comes from the power electronics part of the design. This area is usually the noisiest part of the board and can impact analog performance severely. It is best to keep the analog ground area small and close to the C2000 chip to suppress noise from affecting the device’s ADCs. A reduction in the size of the analog ground plane, when done properly, translates to a reduction in noise pickup.

An example of analog/digital separation is shown in Figure 4-9. Note the clear isolation boundary in the ground plane that separates the analog ground and digital ground.

Figure 4-9 Analog/Digital Isolation

In this example, there is only a single ground plane for both digital and analog grounds (VSS/VSSA). The grounds are shorted at only one point: the bottom gray area of the isolation boundary near the source. Additionally, notice that there is only a single signal crossing the isolation boundary. The signal being highlighted is a static signal that will rarely, if ever, change states during the entire operation of the system. This means that it will not generate any significant noise and will not be a problem for the system.
