We all use “ground”… but what is it?

Apparently our good friend Lee Ritchey spent his Christmas writing an article about just ground. This is such an important topic as there is so much confusion over this simple concept – yet we all use it all the time.

This is no doubt the best article I have seen on the subject in all of 2017 🙂 Highly recommended.

And it has already created quite a number of comments on SI-LIST, where SI is discussed on a daily basis. Definitely a subject of great importance.

Happy new year to all – and let’s meet somewhere this year!

PS: I am in Munich with the 3-day Signal Integrity with Hands On course on Feb 20-22 and in Ringwood, UK outside of London on Feb 14-16. Both courses are organized by Doulos – so they are the contact point for signups.

PPS: If you are totally nuts about SI, don’t forget DesignCon in Stata Clara, CA, US on Jan 31-Feb 2. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to go this year, but I am sure it will be packed with all the latest information. And also a lot of stuff that is too academic to be of much use for most of us 🙂
