Lay out a mixed-signal board

Hard · Whiteboard

A 4-layer board has a 12 V → 3.3 V buck converter, a microcontroller, and a 16-bit ADC reading a microvolt-level bridge sensor. Draw the floor plan and stack-up, and explain your grounding, decoupling and routing choices to keep the ADC readings clean.
