this article can be taken as both ways, as a revenge 😮 or a guideline for what not to do. The decision is purely up-to reader. Technie X has decided, clues from personality should be used to model into design decisions.
The effectiveness of the decoupling at high frequency is dependent on the number of capacitors used as opposed to the low frequency where it depends on the value of the capacitor used.
The best PCB layout starts on the foundation of component placement. It is wise to not rush the process. Every extra iteration should add up niche a feature or remove a short-coming. Picking up a small detail and reducing the effort of routing by this creative process is the most challenging phase in PCB design life-cycle. But it’s totally worth it.
Good PCB stack-up is very effective in reducing differential and common mode emission from the board. Choosing a PCB stack-up in the design process is analogs to the foundation for a house. Hence selecting it carefully can save a lot of costs afterward occurring towards mitigation of EMI/EMC issue.
