Developing low-noise mixed-signal systems

The quality of the power supply is crucial to the performance of mixed-signal systems. Noise, ripple and transient disturbances can impair signal quality via limited PSRR, common-mode impedances, parasitic couplings and reference voltages, leading to jitter, drift or system instabilities.

In this 60-minute webinar, Dr. Heinz Zenkner and Michael Zenkner use a practical reference design to show you how to develop highly stable, low-noise and EMC-compliant power supplies.

What to expect in this webinar:

• Structure and coordinate power, digital, analog and reference supplies effectively
• Select and combine DC/DC converters, LDOs, filtering and decoupling concepts appropriately
• Understand the impact of PSRR, ripple, load transients and return current paths on signal quality and stability
• Avoid common errors in PCB layout, grounding and unwanted coupling
• Implement soft start, power sequencing and brownout protection reliably
• Evaluate noise, ripple and coupled interference through measurement
• Get your questions answered in a live Q&A session with the presenters

Gain practical approaches to identify critical interference mechanisms at an early stage and build robust, low-noise systems. This webinar is aimed at developers and system engineers with at least two years of professional experience. The content can be applied directly to applications such as sensors, test and measurement equipment, embedded systems and audio amplifiers.
