I have just signed on for a research project at school, and I have been given a handful of handwired circuits that need to be redone on etched p.c. boards. (A hazing ritual??) I have done a few boards in my time, but I need some advice. The crucial board is a voltage probe with variable gain, which feeds a 12-bit ADC. It will not see high frequencies, but as the voltages are in the microvolt range, noise will be a problem. How far apart should signal lines be from power lines? How much does adding a ground plane on the front side affect noise levels? Etc, etc. I would greatly appreciate any advice on personal layout strategies or a citation of references. The p.c. board articles in the hobbiest mags I have read did not discuss these layout questions. --Larry Liska
