Re: Mixed digital-analog layout

2006-08-25 by Adrian

When I say digital, I refer to a CMOS counter (RC clock) to control a 
multiplexer/demultiplexer IC to switch an analog signal. So only two 
digital ICs.
"When doing ground layout i like to think in voltage drops"
You refer to traces voltage drops?
