Free Grounding Techniques Design Tutorial
Electrical engineers might appreciate the free grounding techniques design tutorial by Tamara Schmitz (Principal Applications Engineer, Intersil Corporation) that is available via this link: DESIGN TUTORIAL
Tamara Schmitz has BS EE, MS EE, and PhD EE degrees and she has taught analog circuits and test development engineering as an assistant professor at San Jose State University.
The introduction paragraph states:
Ground is taken for granted. We stand on it, we dig into it, we make mud pies out of it. The ground isn’t supposed to move. We don’t have to think about it; it just is. When it comes to grounding a circuit, we assume that our connections are as solid as the turf below our scuffed shoes. Many times, this is a reasonable assumption – but not always. How do we know when there is a problem with a circuit’s ground? What practices will sure we construct a good ground?
