Hi,
I am developing a prototyping board that's designed mainly for Teensy and Daisy Seed. The board produces aggressive digital noise on Teensy (4.1, MQS/PT8211) but not on Daisy.
Since I'm not an engineer I immidiately blamed my PCB design. But then, the Daisy isn't producing any noise, so I'm not sure how to move forward.
PCB design (screenshot below)
The PCB doesn't have any components on it (no filters, passive or active parts). Both sides have ground planes, stitched together. There are 80 multipurpose footprints that can take either a pot, switch or jack socket. GND and VCC have dedicated pads for patching the corresponding pins of the Teensy/Daisy.
My thinking was to make it similar to a breadboard. If additional components are needed, I could add them on a little perfboard I've placed on the bottom right side of the PCB.
What I've tried
Using digital filtering
Using caps on the MQS output and on the 3v3 line
I've noticed that if the audio library isn't initialized the noise stops.
Questions:
Is there a way to solve this without adding RC filters on each ADC? Just by modifying the PCB design?
Is there a reason why the Teensy produces noise, but Daisy isn't?
If I need to add passive/active circuits, what's the simplest solution, considering I'm not going for high-end sound quality but rather simplicity and practicallity?
Thank you
Roey
