1.3.3. Reference Planes

  • Make sure all high-speed signals reference to solid planes over the length of their routing (ground reference is preferred) and do not cross split planes.
  • Use a layer topology of ground-signal-ground for high-speed signal routing to provide good isolation and reference.
