Guys, this is crazy. Firstly, the schematic was shown as an example. Is it necessary to analyze an academic example so closely? What kind of ground potential problems will there be - isn't that heavily dependent on current and resistance in the ground network?

Secondly, the schematic provides a netlist, not component placement and routing. I pitty the engineer that places all his bypass caps next to the regulator because thats how the schematic shows it.
