Team,
Sometimes we got LM96000 fan speed information affected by noise.
May I know if you can provide the layout guideline, especially for TACH signal, to prevent the noise of fan speed information.
Thank you.

George,
Do you have a schematic? What are the noise aggressors onboard?
Do you have some waveform capture of the noise?
How many layers do you have on the pcb?
Depending on the situation, you might want to consider shielding (e.g. using guard rings) and/or filtering.
E-noise coupling is proportional to distance so you might want to give the TACH signal some buffer space from the high freq signals.
B-noise coupling is function of the area size made from the traces so you want to minimize the loop areas.
