All this shows a serious noise issue. But in the absence of information about what your circuit does, it is difficult to help you. For a line level unit - which I believe is the case considering the test signal of 1.23V - , achieving 80 dB S/N requires almost no specific precaution, only basic shielding and grounding.JAY X said:Hi,
I have calculated the THD (5 harmonics): 0.015%.
Also i tested the board (1 layer pcb), with a picoscope with a test signal: 1.23v @ 1khz sinewave.
the results were: THD +N : -42,82 dbc ( below carrier)
SINAD: -42,82 dbc
SNR: 43,27dbc
IMD: 0,07%
I suppose these results can be better with a 2 layer pcb, good vias placing, and keeping sensitive opamp nodes clean of parasitic traces, etc...
What do you think?
