easy🧠 Conceptual Q2 of 15
PCB Design - Advanced Routing Techniques
Which of the following is a recommended practice when routing guard traces for sensitive signals?
AConnect guard traces to the nearest power supply line
BConnect guard traces to a clean ground reference
CKeep guard traces floating without connection
DRoute guard traces parallel and far from the sensitive signal
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify proper guard trace connection

    Guard traces should be connected to a clean ground to provide effective shielding.
  2. Step 2: Evaluate other options

    Connecting to power or leaving floating reduces effectiveness; routing far away defeats purpose.
  3. Final Answer:

    Connect guard traces to a clean ground reference -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Guard traces connect to ground = C [OK]
Quick Trick: Always connect guard traces to ground for best shielding [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Connecting guard traces to power lines
  • Leaving guard traces unconnected
  • Routing guard traces far from signals
