Download the High-Speed PCB Design Guide to design PCBs with signal frequencies from 50MHz to as high as 3GHz and beyond.| Sierra Circuits
Parasitic capacitance effect in PCBs results in EMI and crosstalk. It can be reduced by following good layout practices.| Sierra Circuits
The PCB layout stage includes setting up the design tool, board outline, import of netlist, component placement, routing, silkscreen cleanup, and DRC check.| Sierra Circuits
In high-speed PCBs, the current return path follows the path of least impedance instead of least resistance. The current always comes back to the source.| Sierra Circuits
Placement of a decoupling capacitor or bypass capacitor is critical as it provides high transient currents to an IC to reduce power ripples.| Sierra Circuits
