Hi Gurus, I am new to this field. We have the following layers in a land grid array package: Seal Ring GND Layer Signal Layer VCCI Layer Signal Layer GND Layer / Die Attach Signal Routing VCCI Layer VCC Layer LGA A driver usually draws power from the capacitance between VCCI and GND during 0-1 transition and dumps power to the GNDI plane during 1-0 transition. | Chip Side | Package side | | VCC VCCI | VCCI plane | | | Driver ---Driver----------Transmission.Line (trace). | | | GND GND | GND plane | VCCI supplies the IO ring while VCC supplies the chip's core voltage. Do I need to add another GND plane to make the package better. Any suggestion regarding a new stack up is welcome Thanks, Rudy ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
