A designer made a 6-layer PCB but forgot to include a dedicated ground plane layer. What problem is most likely to occur?
medium📝 Formula Fix Q14 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify missing ground plane role
Ground planes provide a reference and shield to reduce noise in signals.Step 2: Predict effect of missing ground plane
Without it, signals can pick up noise and interference, causing errors.Final Answer:
Increased signal noise and interference. -> Option BQuick Check:
Missing ground plane = More noise [OK]
Quick Trick: Ground plane is key for clean signals [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Thinking physical stability depends on ground plane
- Confusing layer count with signal quality
- Assuming power supply depends on ground plane presence
