#167223 - PCB design - ground plate...
Hello all,

I would like to ask you for a help. I have a PCB consists of 4 layers with inner ground and power plate. I am solving 2 tasks:

1) To or not to pour the copper with ground potencial on the TOP and BOTTOM layer with a lot of vias connected to the ground plate because of free space and shielding. For example SMD ground pads of bypass capacitor will be connected to the BOOTOM ground "islands" (BOTTOM ground polygon will not be solid because of the signal lines) and then throught vias to inner ground plane...

2) I have switching regulator LM25574 on the BOTTOM layer and I am not sure if there should be the shared ground/power planes or place without polygon just under the regulator... I am afraid of the noise...

I am searching forum and read the PCB design tutorial but exact answer has not been found yet... thank you very much for you help... regards

There are the TOP and BOTTOM layers how I imagine them...
