If you have a circuit board that requires a split gnd plane over a small section of the board, and you have several ground planes, should only one have the split (the one nearest the side containing the components that require analog ground) while the rest of the ground planes are continuous, or should the split section be on all ground layers? I would think that you should only have it on one layer. Also, if it should only be on one layer, I would imagine it would be best to connect it to the digital ground with one, and only one, via. Is that generally correct? What are some good references for layer stackups, etc? I know I saw one, once, but can't remember where.
