Yes, it's weak in some areas but in other areas there have been great improvements. For example the ECO process now allows me to remove an entire set of commands which was never before possible in 99SE. I will often add pads to ground, usually mounting tabs for potentiometers, and they aren't part

you may try to design a spiral inductor instead . Download the free software called Appcad (from Agilent) , it has spiral inductors design. Play some what if scenarios with it and you'll see if you can do it one way or another, with and without vias . Best Regards, Matt Tudor , MSEE -

I cannot see any real problems putting the coil on the board, but I wouldn't mind betting it will take more turns than a remote (wire) coil to get it to the same resonant frequency (inductance). (Due mainly to the coils self capacity to its (own) other windings. You need to either simulate the
