I know it's not ideal, but when laying out the FV-1 on a single sided board, which is better:
a) connect pin 8 to pin 23 (+VDD) directly under the chip and split the ground plane below the chip
b) have a continuous ground plane below the FV-1 and have +VDD loop around the board to connect pin 8 to pin 23
Thanks

I'm no PCB expert, but I think splitting the ground plane may be the better way. Where it would be split is basically between the signal pins and the control pins.
