<p>people say things like &quot;breadboards are 10 MHz max&quot; (basically true) from which they derive conclusions like &quot;pin headers, which have the same pitch as a breadboard, are 10 MHz max&quot; which are entirely false. although you do need to treat it like a transmission line above ~20 MHz or nothing will work</p>

In particular, I am not sure who the audience is, other than nerds with a lot of intellectual curiosity (whom are likely have a long to-read list).</p><p>See also:<br /><a href="https://notes.eatonphil.com/recommending-a-book.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">notes.eatonphil.com/recommendi</span><span class="invisible">ng-a-book.html</span></a></p>
