PRODUCTION DATA.
To meet signal integrity and performance requirements, at minimum a four layer PCB is recommended for implementing PHYTER components in end user systems. The following layer stack-ups are recommended for four, six, and eight-layer boards, although other options are possible.
Within a PCB it may be desirable to run traces using different methods, microstrip vs stripline, depending on the location of the signal on the PCB. For example, it may be desirable to change layer stacking where an isolated chassis ground plane is used. Figure 8-4 illustrates alternative PCB stacking options.
