Copper plating on PCBs serves multifaceted purposes: reducing impedance, enhancing anti-interference capabilities, minimizing voltage drop, and improving power supply efficiency, especially when segregating digital and analog grounds. Challenges arise in addressing single-point connections, dealing with high-frequency emission sources, and managing isolated islands. Choosing between large-area and grid copper pour depends on the circuit’s needs, while in digital circuits, copper coating reduces ground plane impedance, and in mixed circuits, careful ground routing and power supply placement are essential.
