TI Circuit Board Layout TechniquesChapter 17 Circuit Board Layout Techniques Literature Number SLOA089 Excerpted from Op Amps for Everyone Literature Number: SLOD006A Chapter 17 Circuit Board Layout Techniques Bruce Carter 17.1 General Considerations Prior discussions have focused on how to design op amp circuitry, how to use ICs, and the usage of associated passive components. There is one additional circuit component that must be considered for the design to be a success ― the printed circuit board on which the circuit is to be located. 17.1.1 The PCB is a Component of the Op Amp Design Op amp circuitry is analog circuitry, and is very different from digital circuitry. It must be partitioned in its own section of the board, using special layout techniques. Printed circuit board effects become most apparent in high……
