San Francisco Circuits (SFC), a leader in the fabrication, assembly, and testing of printed circuit boards (PCBs) for unmanned systems and robotic technologies, has published a complete article discussing various routing techniques applicable to PCB design.
explore the complete article on the San Francisco circuits website.
Conventional beliefs in both analog and digital circuit design suggest that minimizing the length of PCB traces is ideal. However, SFC’s article emphasizes scenarios where serpentine trace routing can enhance performance in specific PCB applications.
The article delves into the following topics:
- Timing considerations in digital systems
- Sources of electrical noise
- The rationale behind multiple voltage domains in PCBs
- The necessity for data buses to maintain uniform lengths
- Maintaining signal integrity and preventing packet loss
- The judicious use of vias
- Implementing serpentine routing in analog PCB designs
