For example, if we consider a power line to the circuit parts, should power be given to the digital part in beginning of the power line and then power be given to the analog part at the end of the line or vice versa?

      I *think* it may be more than "not enough samples", and imply that "up" is relative rather than absolute, so you need to do some sample-window analysis. But I am only speculating, and it would be good to have an answer from someone who actually knows.

    • @Zachariah-Peterson
      @Zachariah-Peterson 3 дні тому

      Equalization is essentially an amplification and filtering scheme as a function of frequency, and which may be nonlinear, which allows a signal to be recovered from a noisy bitstream. It is part of the interface standard and the circuit that performs the function is built into an integrated circuit (at the Rx end or Tx of a link).

    Ferrite filters are used for noise reduction in signal lines, because they can cancel out common noise which is impossible for all of the above mentioned. In some cases you don't need to filter out DC spikes and I was wondering how you will apply a filter which will attenuate a signal by 3 times. Then you will have 1.3 volts instead of 5. What was the point of those simulations?

      @@Zachariah-Peterson yes I have. While it's a great feature, the parts imported are not consistent in style, its not straightforward reusing them in other projects, and it's sometimes difficult to find derivatives of a component (say an 8 pin header instead of 7). KiCAD's way of solving this is decoupling schematics and footprints. You've got your beautiful symbols, then your footprints as a standalone. You want a pin connector with a different pitch? An SMD passive in 0603 instead? A BNC coax instead of SMA? Your custom made IC symbol is basically a QFN-16? Just choose the appropriate footprint. These are all stuff which you can re-model in altium, but it's just great that its built-in already. Altium has an equivalent "Footprint Wizard" which is awesome. But you still have to do it yourself kinda and I'd love if KiCAD footprint and schematic libraries are importable into Altium. Please Zach, send this request to the altium dev team! 😄
