pcb - adjacent trace capacitance (horizontal)


I find a lot of online tools to calculate the capacitance between two traces (or a trace and a plane) on opposite pcb layers. One such tool can be found here: http://chemandy.com/calculators/rectangular-capacitor-calculator.htm

However, I would like to calculate the capacitance between adjacent traces on the pcb. Something like this:

Has anyone an idea how to do this?


EDIT :
Imagine the following example:



  • Two tracks run parallel for 10 mm.


  • Each track is 0.2 mm wide.

  • The distance between both tracks is also 0.2 mm.

  • Copper thickness is about 20 µm.

  • Board thickness is 1.6 mm.

  • PCB material is standard FR4.

  • One track is signal, the other Gnd.

  • There are no other tracks in the area, nor any (Gnd-) planes.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
