Hi All,
In my layout there is a long running metal which is not connected to any active nets (floating). Does this can cause any effects on the adjacent signal nets on the same/different layer?. Since the net is not connected I am unable to think of any capacitance related issue but I feel that due to the switching in the near by nets the floating net can accumulate charges and can be on a higher potential w.r.t ground, can any one please explain me the what can be the actual problem in this case. Also a layout guideline is to avoid long running nets even though they are floating, if possible please explain the reason for this guideline also
