No modification has been made to the board except the low pass filters, my sinewave output is superb. It turned out the low pass filter is very important. Yes, it's important indeed. You can filter out all this ground noise stuff, provided that the frequency contents are higher than the corner frequency of low pass filter at output. That's not difficult, because low frequency noise hardly contributes to ground noise, just because inductivity and by this impedance of ground plane is very very low at low frequencies. Mahmood said:
When all development is finalized I will redo the PCB and compare the difference. You will not find any relevant difference, when you keep the ground pin of scope at the ground pin of last filter component of output filter! But when you put the ground tip of scope to different places on board, then you will notice a huge difference: Without solid ground plane and filtering enhancements the sine seems to become very bad suddenly. With solid ground plane, on the other hand, it will not mean much difference to what point you refer the ground pin of scope. The improvements of board (solid ground plane, filtering enhancements) will help you to achieve an analog performance which is evenly good at all places on the board. Kai |
