Hi, I’m working on a PCB layout, which is only about the second board I’ve ever designed. I’d appreciate some help with the following issue: This board has two layers: The top layer is used f...
For power polygon that primarily carry DC, how critical is it that it is located above a ground plane? If it is important, how crucial is it that the polygon completely overlaps the ground plane b...
I have designed a PCB that I need to work in which a microcontroller drives a 24 V brushed motor. The input power to the board is 24 V, this is then lowered to 5 V by a step down converter, and thi...
When using through-hole ("THR") connectors on a multi-layer PCB, I frequently notice problems with the ground pins, when these are connected to the ground plane(s) through various "thermal relief" ...
