PRODUCTION DATA
An 8-layer stack-up is used and this particular stack is common with most processor chipset guides. In some systems a 10-layer stack-up is used, the same principles can be carried over from the 8-layer to a 10-layer stack-up. The figure below shows the details of each of the layers. The two outer layers have a thickness of 1.0 oz copper and the inner layers are 0.5 oz copper.
The table below shows the recommended routing for each of these layers. For power routing the Power 1/2 planes can be stacked to allow for high currents.
LAYER | ROUTING |
---|---|
SSTXRX1 | Differential: 85Z, 90Z, 100Z, Single Ended: 50Z, Power, and GPIO |
High Speed | Differential: 85Z, 90Z, 100Z, Single Ended: 50Z, and GPIO |
Power 1 | Power and GPIO |
Power 2 | Power and GPIO |
SSTXRX2 | Differential: 85Z, 90Z, 100Z, Single Ended: 50Z, Power, and GPIO |
The vias used in this layout example are 8mil/16mil. There are no blind and buried vias used in this layout example and for any via on pad used it is recommended to use epoxy filled vias. The figure below shows the via sizing.
