PCB Layer Stack Fundamentals: Routing Between Multiple PCB Layer Stacks

Is there anything you should be aware of when routing between multiple PCB layer stacks? Let’s explore in this blog post. PCBs with multiple layers exist because it’s impossible to route today’s complex circuits on only one layer. This means eventually, the trace you’re routing will have to continue on another layer. Let’s explore everything…
