Hi All, I have been keeping the keyboard busy over the last week. Just posted is the most recent article on my site http://emcesd.com concerning some of the effects that can occur when a signal path passes through multiple power/ground planes on a printed wiring board. The experiment and data in the article relate to several other articles and papers on the site. Together, these papers and articles serve to emphasize that a signal always forms a loop, source to load and back again. What happens on the return trip can have a significant effect on board performance in many respects. Doug -- ------------------------------------------------------- ___ _ Doug Smith \ / ) P.O.
