PCB Design For Beginners: Ugly Tracks Are Noisy

I laid out dozens and dozens of PCBs (printed circuit boards) and could never figure out why my tracks always looked crappy. It turns out that laying out "pretty" PCB tracks is just as much function as it is form. It's all a function of capacitive coupling. The short version goes likes this. If you want noise to jump from one track to another, put the tracks as close as possible. Obviously, almost no one wants that. So, we spread them out. When we spread them out equally and minimize the amount of space in which traces come in close contact, we end up with pretty tracks and a low-noise layout. -- Podcast Subscribe Options -- @ iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... @ Stitcher https://www.stitcher.com/show/electro... @ Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6hETotp... @ ElectronInjection.com https://www.electroninjection.com/pod... -- Follow Me -- Patreon   / brandondrury   My Personal Website https://www.brandondrury.com Instagram   / brandotronics   Twitter   / brandon_drury   Facebook   / brandon.drury.967   Tindie https://www.tindie.com/stores/electro...
