11.1.3 Recommended Stack Layout

Following the choice of dielectrics and design specifications, the designer must decide how many levels to use in the stack. To reduce the TTL/CMOS to M-LVDS crosstalk, it is a good practice to have at least two separate signal planes as shown in Figure 11-3.

Note:

The separation between layers 2 and 3 must be 127 μm (0.005 in). By keeping the power and ground planes tightly coupled, the increased capacitance acts as a bypass for transients.

One of the most common stack configurations is the six-layer board, as shown in Figure 11-4.

In this particular configuration, it is possible to isolate each signal layer from the power plane by at least one ground plane. The result is improved signal integrity; however, fabrication is more expensive. Using the 6-layer board is preferable because it offers the layout designer more flexibility in varying the distance between signal layers and referenced planes, in addition to ensuring reference to a ground plane for signal layers 1 and 6.
