Tips on routing multiple powers(+5/-5/+15/-15/3.3 and etc. ) for a four-layer PCB
The most tedious thing for me while routing PCBs are the powers. I have made several PCBs of these kind and it seems that I have not learned much from the process. The power connections are always a m …

Where do the return currents go for a MCU with multiple Vdd and grounds?
I am reading this article on mixed signal design: https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/app-notes/index.mvp/id/5450
When signals have really high speed, the return current will tend to follow right unde …

50MHz SPI PCB routing, use vias or resistors?
I am trying to route the SPI between MCU and ADC. However, the pin orders between MCU and ADC are not matched, there are crossings. A four-layer board is used.(signal - ground - power - signal)
I ten …

Four layer PCB, leaks current on edges
I was testing a four-layer PCB and got electric shocks several times when trying to touch the edges of the PCB. The four layers are: top/+15V/ground/bottom layer.
It seems that there are several "whi …
