#174948 - Choice of Power Domain Too
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Maarten Brock said:
OTOH if you make an external data acquisition device using USB, you don't have to worry about signal integrity as much and can use long cables. Remember the PC is a very noisy environment.


To add to Maarten's posting, the use of a USB interface offers a number of options on how to power the acquisition device. Each of these may offer specific advantages over trying to plunk your acquisition subsystem down on a board inside a noisy PC.

You can choose to:

- Power the device directly off the USB interface as long as you can live with the 2.5W limit of available power.

- Power from a brick or wall wart offering a low voltage solution with simplified safety certifications. This selection also offers great choices in terms of converter type and thus some degree of control over the quality of the delivered DC power.

- Power the device direct from AC power for those special instances where a fair amount of power is required. This selection also gives some options for earth ground attachment if that is important to the product requirements.
