EMC by Design - Systematic Approach (Grounding - Signal Reference Ground, 0V)

 

Diagram illustrating single point grounding for analog, digital, and high power loads, showing current paths to power supply in two different grounding configurations.
Diagram showing a modified single-point grounding system with analog, digital, and analogue inputs connected to low-power and high-power outputs.

ALT Text: Diagram illustrating the grounding signal reference ground (0V) with four types of signals—Analog, Digital, High Power Loads, and Power Supply—each connected to a common grounding point through separate current paths labeled I1, I2, I3, and I4. The diagram emphasizes the limitation of single-point grounding systems.
The diagram depicts the impedance of a grounding system with long ground wires, including equipment connections, an equivalent circuit featuring inductance and capacitance, and a graph showing impedance variations with frequency highlighting parallel and series resonances.
Diagram showing impedance and resonance in grounding system circuits and printed circuit tracks.
