PRODUCTION DATA
To meet signal integrity and performance requirements, at minimum a 4-layer PCB must be used. However a 6-layer board is recommended. See Figure 8-14 for the recommended layer stack ups for 4, 6, and 8-layer boards. These are recommendations not requirements, other configurations can be used as per system requirements.
Figure 8-14 Recommended Layer Stack-UpWithin a PCB, running traces using different methods, microstrip versus stripline, can be desirable depending on the location of the signal on the PCB. For example, changing layer sacking where an isolated chassis ground plane is used can be desirable. Figure 8-15 shows alternative PCB stacking options.
