Lecture 5: Grounding Techniques PCB

This video was created by Neha Kardam and is part of a series of lectures on printed circuit board design using Ki-CAD software. During this lecture, Kardam covers star grounding, analog and digital separation, ground planes, and slotted ground planes. The lecture examines the theory and practical challenges of star grounding, emphasizing the importance of separating analog and digital circuitry to minimize noise. Grounding strategies for analog-to-digital converters, the benefits of ground planes, and  techniques for managing digital currents in analog return paths are also highlighted.

This video runs 19:40 minutes in length. Additional videos from the series are available to view separately.
