PCB layout issue
Roland Mist , 11-28-2023, 08:12 AM
Hello,
I made a mistake while doing the layout of a PCB and routed the PWR signal in two different paths in two different layers. Now it looks like there is a loop between the source and load connector (which are on the top layer).
Will this loop cause any issues?
-Red (Layer1)
-Yellow (Layer 3)
- Blue (Layer 6)

You mean other than the reduced resistance / impedance...?
For high speed the length difference between blue and yellow may cause some problems, but seeing Vbat_ch, I assume DC.
Layers 2 and 5 are Gnd?

I have used parallel power planes number of times (usually the same shape on different layers),but I have not simulated it for any possible problems or issues. I am putting this on my possible topics to talk about in my videos in future.

Yes the signals is DC. It is a path to charge the Li-ion Battery in my system.
My layer stackup is
Layer 1 - Signal
Layer 2 - GND
Layer 3 - PWR
Layer 4 - Signal/GND
Layer 5 - PWR
Layer 6 - PWR/GND
