The key is to keep the ground very quiet. If you don't have any significant ground currents flowing in the area, tying to digital ground appears to work just fine. But the recommended approach is to have a separate ground path and tie that to the digital ground via a low pass filter. This can be a ferrite or simply a resistor. The key is to isolate the digital ground from the analog ground. Usually, you will want all your analog inputs tied to the same analog ground. This is usually only important for low-level analog signals where you need low noise and low voltage signals. For crude measurements, like measuring battery level, the separate analog plane is not required. _____ From: lpc2000@yahoogroups.com [mailto:lpc2000@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dan Fogelson Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 7:37 AM To: lpc2000@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [lpc2000] PLL and analog ground pins Does anybody have any recommendations on what to do with the PLL and analog ground pins?
