Hi All, I'm working on a backplane design and come up with the following 7-layer PCB stackup: 1) Signal (Single Ended Signals) 2) +5V 3) GND 4) Signal (Diffential Signals, high speed) 5) GND 6) +12V 7) Signal (Single Ended Signals and +3.3V trace) I don't really need two GND planes, but the reason I added the second GND plane (layer 5) was because of symmetry and balancing PCB stackup. How does this stackup compare to the 6-layer stackup (without the second GND layer on layer 5)? Your comments/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kevin _________________________________________________________________ Learn to simplify your finances and your life in Streamline Your Life from MSN Money. http://special.msn.com/money/0405streamline.armx ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 FAQ wiki page is located at: http://si-list.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Si-List_FAQ List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org 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
