PCB Layout - PCB Layout - ConsiderationsConsiderations

Placing the power management portion of the PCB at the lower end to allow easy access to the battery pack

Separate the analog (2.4GHz receiver and ADC) portion from the digital (LCD, Touch controller, Microcontroller) portion

Place Receiver on the top left of the device to minimize noise picked up by the antenna

Place oscillator as close to the ADC as possible Place bypass capacitors as close to IC’s as possible Avoiding 90deg traces (using 135deg traces) Separate grounds for analog and digital circuits
