Altium Develop brings your schematic, component data, and supply chain into one connected workspace, so what a datasheet says about a pin stays in context all the way through layout: https://www.altium.com/develop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=altium-academy-shorts&utm_content=pcb-grounding-why-sgnd-doesnt-always-mean-signal-ground Open the datasheet for almost any data converter — an ADC, a DAC, or anything else with an analog input — and you will find more than one ground pin waiting for you. DGND is a digital ground connection. AGND is an analog ground connection. SGND and PGND usually stand for signal ground and power ground, and on a non-isolated switching regulator with a feedback line that reading is exactly right. Zach Peterson walks through the ground naming schemes you will actually run into on real components and what each one tells you about how that part expects to be connected. ▶ Watch the full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19WnYPhNOH0 💡 Watch Next: - Types of PCB Grounding Explained | PCB Layout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19WnYPhNOH0 - Ground Pin Naming Demystified | PCB Layout Basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUITGYfT8Sc - AGND vs PGND: Proper Net Tie Connections in Power Regulator PCB Design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhnuAaFf2Fg - Signal Ground Power Ground 4-Layer Stackup?
