OIISSEE
There are a number of causes of poor system noise performance. Some of the more
common causes are listed below.
• Insufficient decoupling on the PCB or load
• Faulty wiring connection or poor cable terminations
• Poor system earthing, system level grounding, and shielding issues
There are some simple steps to eliminate, reduce, or identify the causes of high
frequency noise:
• Is the noise conducted or radiated? If changing the position of the power supply
or screening improves performance, the noise is likely radiated. Refer to
“EMC
Characteristics”
.
• Twist all pairs of power and sense cables separately.
• Ground connections (0 V) should be made with the shortest possible wiring via
a capacitor to the nearest point on the chassis.
