#121267 - Maybe somewhere in between will work
Responding to: ???'s previous message
For many years now, I've used a low-impedance power and ground plane (It's not as easy now, with multiple power supplies required in nearly every circuit.), essentially a "pour" on the outer layers of the PCB. Major "swamping" cap's are placed in strategic locations, and small, typically 1nF cap's near each device. This generally, in a single-supply environment, keeps power-gnd noise in the 50 mV range.

Many vendors have recommended the use of ferrites to block high-energy noise from getting from one supply to the other, and to keep it localized. While this may, in most cases, improve things, I've had no results to support that notion. This doesn't stop me from using them, however.

      Well have a look at the design            01/01/70 00:00      
         I will...            01/01/70 00:00      
            No layout available at the moment            01/01/70 00:00      
               May I ask why you don't follow the reference?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Because            01/01/70 00:00      
                     No relevant difference, I think            01/01/70 00:00      
                        I do not think so            01/01/70 00:00      
                        try one poured layer for each supply            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Exactly!            01/01/70 00:00      
                              He will need multiple layers anyway            01/01/70 00:00

                                 Multiple layers is no joke            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    That's a problem, all right ...            01/01/70 00:00

                                    I wouldn't do that            01/01/70 00:00      
                     This stuff basically hasn't changed in 30 years            01/01/70 00:00      
      I never used individual ferrites ..            01/01/70 00:00      
         You WILL in mixed circuits...            01/01/70 00:00      
   never seen that, but have seen the opposite            01/01/70 00:00      
      Maybe somewhere in between will work            01/01/70 00:00      
   No longer interested, Mike??            01/01/70 00:00
