Appendix 4.16 Notes on Noise
Appendix 4.16.3 Processing Analog Input Pin Wiring
Insert a resistor of about 100 to 500
in series to the analog signal line connecting to the analog input pin at a
position as close to the microcomputer as possible. Also, insert a capacitor of about 100 pF between the analog
input pin and AVSS pin at a position as close to the AVSS pin as possible.
<Reasons>
The signal fed into the analog input pin (e.g., A/D converter input pin) normally is an output signal from a
sensor. In many cases, a sensor to detect changes of event is located apart from the board on which the
microcomputer is mounted, so that wiring to the analog input pin is inevitably long. Because a long wiring
serves as an antenna which draws noise into the microcomputer, the signal fed into the analog input pin
tends to be noise-ridden. Furthermore, if the capacitor connected between the analog input pin and AVSS
pin is grounded at a position apart from the AVSS pin, noise riding on the ground line may penetrate into
the microcomputer via the capacitor.

Appendix 4.16.2 Inserting a Bypass Capacitor between VSS and VCC Lines
Insert a bypass capacitor of about 0.1 F between the VSS and VCC lines. At this time, make sure the require-
ments described below are met.
The wiring length between the VSS pin and bypass capacitor and that between the VCC pin and bypass
capacitor are the same.
The wiring length between the VSS pin and bypass capacitor and that between the VCC pin and bypass
capacitor are the shortest distance possible.
The VSS and VCC lines have a greater wiring width than that of all other signal lines.
