A multi-layer PCB design has overlapping signal traces on adjacent layers causing short circuits. What is the best fix?
medium📝 Formula Fix Q7 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify cause of short circuits
Overlapping signals on adjacent layers cause shorts due to proximity.Step 2: Best solution to avoid overlap
Rearranging layers separates signals and prevents shorts.Final Answer:
Rearrange layers to separate overlapping signals -> Option BQuick Check:
Fix shorts = Separate overlapping signals [OK]
Quick Trick: Separate overlapping signals by rearranging layers [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Adding layers without fixing overlap
- Using thicker traces doesn't prevent shorts
- Removing power planes unrelated to shorts
