Copyright © 2016 Marvell Doc No. MV-S108467-00 Rev. CJanuary 27, 2016 Document Classification: Proprietary

4.3 Layer Stack-Up

This section contains the following information:

Layer Stack-Up Overview

Layer 1–Topside, Parts, Slow and High Speed Signal Routes, and Power Routes

Layer 2–Solid Ground Plane

Layer 3–Power Plane

Layer 4–Bottom Layer, Slow and High-Speed Signal Routes, and Power Routes

4.3.1 Layer Stack-Up Overview

The following layer stack up is recommended:

Layer 1–Topside, Parts, Slow and High Speed Signal Routes, and Power Routes

Layer 2–Solid Ground Plane

Layer 3–Power Plane

Layer 4–Bottom Layer, Slow and High-Speed Signal Routes, and Power Routes

5 mil traces and 5 mil spacing are the recommended minimum requirements.

4.3.2 Layer 1–Topside, Parts, Slow and High Speed Signal Routes, and Power Routes

All active parts are to be placed on the topside. Some of the differential pairs for SATA and PCIe are routed on the top layer, differential 100 ohm impedance needs to be maintained for those high speed signals.

4.3.3 Layer 2–Solid Ground Plane

A solid ground plane should be located directly below the top layer of the PCB. This layer should be a minimum distance below the top layer in order to reduce the amount of crosstalk and EMI. There should be no cutouts in the ground plane. Use of 1 ounce copper is recommended.

4.3.4 Layer 3–Power Plane

Use solid planes on layer 3 to supply power to the ICs on the PCB. Avoid narrow traces and necks on this plane.

4.3.5 Layer 4–Bottom Layer, Slow and High-Speed Signal Routes, and Power Routes

Some of the differential pairs for SATA and PCIe are routed on the top layer, differential 100Ω impedance needs to be maintained for those high speed signals. The high speed signals have the return current on the third layer, which is the power plane. Make sure there is no cut-out under the signal path.

4.4 Power Supply

This section contains the following information:

Power Supply Overview

VDD Power (1.0V)

Analog Power Supply (1.8V)

Bias Current Resistor (RSET)

4.4.1 Power Supply Overview

The 88SE9235 operates using the following power supplies:

VDD Power (1.0V) for the digital core

Analog Power Supply (1.8V)

4.4.2 VDD Power (1.0V)

All digital power pins (VDD pins) must be connected directly to a VDD plane in the power layer with short and wide traces to minimize digital power-trace inductances.

Use vias close to the VDD pins to connect to this plane and avoid using the traces on the top layer. Marvell recommends placing capacitors around the three sides of the PCB near VDD pins with the following dimensions:

1 µF (1 capacitor)

0.1 µF (2 capacitors)

2.2 µF (1 ceramic capacitor)

The 2.2 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor is needed to filter the lower frequency power-supply noise.

To reduce system noise, the use of high-frequency surface-mount monolithic ceramic bypass capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the channel VDD pins. At least one decoupling capacitor should be placed on each side of the IC package.

Short and wide copper traces should be used to minimize parasitic inductances. Low-value capacitors (1,000–10,000 pF) are preferable over higher values because they are more effective at higher frequencies.

4.4.3 Analog Power Supply (1.8V)

The PCIe analog supply provides power for the PCIe link’s high speed serial signals. To ensure high speed link operation, use a series of bypass capacitors for the supplies. A typical capacitor value combination is 1 µF, 0.1µF, and 2.2 µF.

4.6 Recommended Layout

Solid ground planes are recommended. However, special care should be taken when routing VAA and VSS pins.

The following general tips describe what should be considered when determining your stack-up and board routing. These tips are not meant to substitute for consulting with a signal-integrity expert or doing your own simulations.

Note: Specific numbers or rules-of-thumb are not used here because they might not be applicable in every situation.

Do not split ground planes.

Keep good spacing between possible sensitive analog circuitry on your board and the digital signals to sufficiently isolate noise. A solid ground plane is necessary to provide a good return path for routing layers. Try to provide at least one ground plane adjacent to all routing layers (see Figure 4-2).

Keep trace layers as close as possible to the adjacent ground or power planes.

This helps minimize crosstalk and improve noise control on the planes.

Figure 4-2 Trace Has At Least One Solid Plane For Return Path

When routing adjacent to only a power plane, do not cross splits.

Route traces only over the power plane that supplies both the driver and the load. Otherwise, provide a decoupling capacitor near the trace at the end that is not supplied by the adjacent power plane.

Critical signals should avoid running parallel and close to or directly over a gap.

This would change the impedance of the trace.

Separate analog powers onto opposing planes.

This helps minimize the coupling area that an analog plane has with an adjacent digital plane.

For dual strip-line routing, traces should only cross at 90 degrees.

Avoid more than two routing layers in a row to minimize tandem crosstalk and to better control impedance.

Planes should be evenly distributed in order to minimize warping.

Calculating or modeling impedance should be made prior to routing.

This helps ensure that a reasonable trace thickness is used and that the desired board thickness is available. Consult with your board fabricator for accurate impedance.

Allow good separation between fast signals to avoid crosstalk.

Crosstalk increases as the parallel traces get longer.

When packages become smaller, route traces over a split power plane

Smaller packages force vias to become smaller, thereby reducing board thickness and layer counts, which might create the need to route traces over a split power plane. Some alternatives to provide return path for these signals are listed below.

Caution must be used when applying these techniques. Digital traces should not cross over analog planes, and vice-versa. All of these rules must be followed closely to prevent noise contamination problems that might arise due to routing over the wrong plane.

By tightly controlling the return path, control noise on the power and ground planes can be controlled.

Place a ground layer close enough to the split power plane in order to couple enough to provide buried capacitance, such as SIG-PWR-GND (see Figure 4-3). Return signals that encounter splits in this situation simply jumps to the ground plane, over the split, and back to the other power plane. Buried capacitance provides the benefit of adding low inductance decoupling to your board. Your fabricator may charge for a special license fee and special materials. To determine the amount of capacitance your planes provide, use the following equation:

Where ER is the dielectric coefficient, L • W represents the area of copper, and H is the separation between planes.

Provide return-path capacitors that connect to both power planes and jumps the split. Place them close to the traces so that there is one capacitor for every four or five traces. The capacitors would then provide the return path (see Figure 4-4).

Allow only static or slow signals on layers where they are adjacent to split planes.

Figure 4-3 shows the ground layer close to the split power plane.
