30 Some lessons learned 17 Sept Picosecond Workshop Kansas City Page 30/43

31 Which is the best voltage regulator? Switching regulator (DC-DC converter) high efficiency switching noise not suited for analog designs Linear regulator lower efficiency ( burns power to reduce voltage) no switching noise suited for analog designs 17 Sept Picosecond Workshop Kansas City Page 31/43

32 Which is the best voltage regulator? Linear regulator shows a larger response to load transients Switching noise can be filtered very efficiently Electro Magnetic Interference getting better these days LM2941 (linear) LTM4614 (switched) 17 Sept Picosecond Workshop Kansas City Page 32/43

33 Switching Regulator Noise 1.4 mv p-p 18 mv p-p Low-ESR cap. (< 10 mw) EMI Filter 17 Sept Picosecond Workshop Kansas City Page 33/43

34 Optimal Clock Distribution Simple low jitter oscillator is enough (e.g. ASEMPLV-100) (no atomic clock required!) Precision clock distribution ONLY point-to-point with low jitter LVDS repeater (e.g. MAX9153), NEVER split a clock passively Power supply noise << 1 mv 17 Sept Picosecond Workshop Kansas City Page 34/43
