    Hi,


    Please let us know which FPGA device you are targeting to.

    You may refer to documents available:

    • AN-731: Simultaneous Switching Noise Guidelines for Intel Cyclone 10 LP, Cyclone IV, and Cyclone III Devices
    • Device design guidelines
    • AN 75: High-Speed Board Designs
    • Pin connection guidelines


    Regards.

    How are you measuring that 400mV noise on your ground? What is the test lead setup into the oscilloscope input?

    A less than optimal probing setup can induce false noise into your measurement.

    You must be probing 'ground' with respect to 'ground', correct? But where are these two points located?
