Hi Don,

If your signal Layer refer to high speed signals with risetimes <150ps, then I 
can only recommend to add more ground planes. But I doubt that's the case.

You should try to put real high speed as close to a reference as possible if 
signal speeds are moderate, the power plane can be used as reference too, when 
you stitch it to GND with  caps. Other signals should be routed far away from 
the signals.

Your proposed Stack isn't too bad, you just have to use enough stitching caps 
for the power plane to use it as reference, and then keep high speed signal on 
Layer S2 and S3. The prepregs between high speed signal and reference should be 
kept very thin to limit the electric field distribution. Prepregs between S2/S1 
and S3/S4 should be thick to isolate those signals as much as possible.

Hope this helps.

BR
Gert

Betreff: [SI-LIST] 6 layer board stack up

Dear signal integrity experts

What is the best way to stack up 6 layer board that has 4 signal layer and one 
power plane and one ground layer?
I know there are lot of factors involved but what is a good stating point to 
stack them and simulate it. Is there any literature or paper that provides any 
guide?
For example does S1,S2,P,G, S3, S4 a good starting point(S-signal layer, 
P=Power plane and G=ground plane)?
Many thanks in advance for your advise.

Regards;

Don Pakbaz
