9 videos. Ranked by independent recommendations, not by views.
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.
Often given in layout reviews to show, through simulation, how return currents behave and why ground vias near signal layer changes help.
Rick Hartley's talk on layer arrangement and EMI is treated as an authoritative source for planning multilayer stackups, and engineers often refer to specific recommendations from it.
Phil's Lab tutorial on PCB vias, covering why signals changing layers need a nearby return via and how ground stitching ties planes together.
Zach Peterson's Altium Academy video is repeatedly recommended for grasping PCB fundamentals such as return paths and grounding, with praise for how well the ideas are taught.
A long talk between Robert Feranec and EMC specialist Keith Armstrong, with board designers citing particular timestamps on stackups, return vias and edge emissions.
Often recommended on PCB design threads as a short animation by Robert showing how fast signals and their return currents travel, and why ground vias belong near signal vias.
Robert Feranec's video is pointed to for explaining why PCB signals need a return path and why careless grounding causes trouble, with specific timestamps worth jumping to.
Suggested to board designers, often after a layout review, as a clear explanation of why signal return paths and unbroken ground copper matter.
