Hi

My design is basically a pc motherboard. I have isolated the I/O ground from
the logic ground. Currently the ground plane split is 15 thou - I am
contemplating increasing this width. Should the split be kept as small as
possible? If so - why? If the ground split was too small, wouldn't noise be
coupled across from each plane? What is the general consensus on this?

CHEERS
