Electronic – Looking for good articles about reducing crosstalk and other noise in PCB design

emcnoisepcb-design

I am designing a rather large PCB with straight parallel traces 20cm long carrying CMOS logic at around 100kHz. On top of that I have 8 MOSFETs supplying 5A switching on/off at around 400Hz which a large copper pour as a heatsink located close to logic traces. I am concerned about issues I may have with noise, and given the size of my PCB (250x250mm) it isn't the cheapest thing and I want to get it right first time if I can.

Rather than addressing my specific issues, I was wondering if anyone knew any good articles/books/resources for reducing noise on PCBs? I would like to read up on it and learn more myself.

I found this, which was pretty good: http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/szza009/szza009.pdf

The best resource that I've found is the book High Speed Digital Design: A Handbook Of Black Magic. While it may not seem to directly address your issues, it does, and many of the concepts do apply-- and it's a good general purpose book for all things related to signal integrity and EMI.
