The use of “buss wire” is totally unacceptable as a “ground” because of its impedance at the equivalent frequency of most logic transitions. For instance, #22 gauge wire has about 20 nH/ inch inductance. A transient current having a slew rate of 10 mA/ns created by a logic signal would develop an unwanted voltage drop of 200 mV at this frequency flowing through 1 inch of this wire
ya this has some good info. One of the best PCB guides I have read lately. I was hammered by the DIY Guitar FX community for suggesting Ground Plains insted of Star grounding a while back. This article is making me feel better lmao.
