Toradex, p. 17, section 6.2 as illustrated in figure 13. It matters more the greater the length of facing copper. So if you can only get 15mil separation but split it into two or more wiggles, that would be better than having one wiggle at 15mil separation (between facing copper of the same trace). _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
