GROUNDING AND LAYOUT
To reduce noise and emissions, Analog Devices recommends a split ground plane as shown in Figure 16. The purpose of splitting the
ground plane is to create a low noise analog area that is somewhat isolated from the digital ground current noise generated by the
system’s logic. All the analog circuitry should be placed on the analog ground plane area.
For reference purposes, and to return power supply currents, the analog and digital ground planes must be connected at some point,
ideally a small bridge under or near the Codec should be provided. A 0 Ω resistor or a ferrite bead should also be considered since
these allow some flexibility in optimizing the layout to meet EMC requirements.

ANALOG POWER SUPPLY
To minimize audio noise, the Codec analog power supply (AVDD) should be well decoupled and regulated. In PC systems it is rec-
ommended that the analog supply be derived from the 12 V PC power supply using a localized linear voltage regulator. Preferably,
the analog power supply should be connected to the Codec’s analog section using a ferrite bead.
