Good and Bad Layout Design
Goal
Goal
In this lab I have designed a board which will demonstrate good and bad layout design. This board which I designed in this lab demonstrates the two important design principles to reduce switching noise:
1. Usage of continuous return path under the signal traces.
2. Use a low inductance decoupling capacitor close to the IC power pin.

I have prepared a very good overview of how good practices in layout design improves the performance of the circuit in a detailed report. Please have a look at it you will find it interesting.
