Simple ground question
« on: March 11, 2009, 03:44:39 PM »
I'm trying to make a circuit board that has a quadruple half h-bridge chip. There's a 12V power source, a 5V power source, and 4 PWM pins. Can they all share a common ground?

Yes. Actually, they are supposed to all share a common ground.

Except where there's a reason not to ;)

Big Common Ground == Low Impedance == Less Noise
