Hi Ken,
        Here are the questions that I have in mind:

* Is "Bridging" or "Stitching" an Analog and Digital ground plane with a ferrite bead a recommended technique?
* Is there any significance of using a ferrite bead in series with the GND connection (in addition to that of the VCC) as shown below:

                                                                ferrite
Supply/Regulator VCC--------------^^^^^-----------VCC connected to the Components on the board
 
                                                                ferrite
Supply/Regulator GND-----------^^^^-----------GND connected to the Components on the board.
   

regards,
Dilpreet

Dipreet,
Are you describing a situation where you are "bridging" two grounds, like
digital and analog, or a split plane, and if/why that would cause ground
bounce?

Hi Marc,
        Can you please comment a little bit more on Why would a ferrite in series
with GND cause the ground bounce.

regards,
Dilpreet

>From experience, a ferrite in series with GND will cause a ground bounce on
the board. If you're using DC coupled signals to other circuits in the
system, these signals will see their reference point change.
