Widely cited interview with Rick Hartley on PCB grounding, often linked to argue for one solid ground plane rather than split analogue and digital grounds.
Rick Hartley explains how to order, pour and couple PCB layers, with recommended four, six and eight-layer stackups that pair every signal and power layer with ground.
Eric Bogatin explains with Robert Feranec where return current really flows and why split planes cause trouble; repeatedly recommended for anyone routing signals between layers.
Hidden gemAn explanation of decoupling capacitors and why fast switching edges cause supply voltage dips, recommended as clearer than most on the subject.
Robert Feranec's beginner tutorial walking through the process of designing a simple board, suggested to newcomers before attempting their own PCB.
