Do You Really Need Power Planes? Are You Sure? - Eric Bogatin

This course discusses the necessity of power planes in PCB design and explores the option of using tracks for power distribution. The learning outcomes include understanding the maximum current through a PCB track, different stackup configurations (SGSS, SGSG, GSSG, SGGS, SGPS), and analyzing real examples of measured noise and emissions. The course aims to teach skills in optimizing power distribution in PCBs. The teaching method involves a discussion with Eric Bogatin. The intended audience for this course includes PCB designers, electrical engineers, and anyone interested in signal integrity and power distribution in PCB design.
