Hello,
I am designing a relatively simple board based on the ADV7403. The board receives analog RGB video from another board and outputs digital video to an FPGA.
I have read the grounding recommendations in the ADV7403 datasheet and hardware manual.
Due to my board layout considerations, I would like to ask whether it is acceptable to use one continuous, solid ground plane without any split or slot at all.
I will still keep a clear physical separation between the analog and digital sections:
- The analog RGB inputs and associated circuitry will be placed in the analog area.
- The FPGA and the digital pixel bus will be placed in the digital area.
This is a simple board whose main components are only the ADV7403 and an FPGA. There are no other high-speed digital interfaces on the board.
Would you consider this grounding approach to be appropriate for this application?
Thank you,
Omer
