PCB Design - Multi-Layer PCB DesignWhich factor is most important when deciding the spacing of vias in a stitched ground plane?AThe color of the PCB solder maskBThe frequency of the signals on the boardCThe number of signal layersDThe thickness of the PCB substrateCheck Answer
Step-by-Step SolutionSolution:Step 1: Consider what affects ground plane performanceHigh-frequency signals require better grounding to reduce noise and interference.Step 2: Understand via spacing impactCloser via spacing reduces impedance and improves grounding for high-frequency signals.Final Answer:The frequency of the signals on the board -> Option BQuick Check:Via spacing depends on signal frequency [OK]Quick Trick: Signal frequency guides via spacing in ground planes [OK]Common Mistakes:MISTAKESIgnoring signal frequency importanceFocusing on PCB color or thickness insteadAssuming number of signal layers controls via spacing
