8. Route analog ground as a trace tied back to IC ground
9. A good rule of thumb for via count for a given high
internal ground plane should be single point. If the
system has an internal system ground plane, a good
way to do this is to cluster vias into a single star point
to make the connection.
(analog ground pin if present) before connecting to
any other ground. Avoid using the system ground
plane. CAD trick: make analog ground a separate
ground net and use a 0Ω resistor to tie analog ground
to system ground.
current path is to use 0.5A per via. Be consistent.

copper planes on multiple layers in parallel too—this
helps with thermal management and lower trace in-
ductance improving EMI performance further.
