decreases with increasing load current. Reduced supply

voltage causes decreased headroom, output signal clipping,

and reduced output power. Even with tightly regulated sup-

plies, trace resistance creates the same effects as poor

supply regulation. Therefore, making the power supply

traces as wide as possible helps maintain full output voltage

swing.
