DESIGN GUIDELINES
6.4. PLACE AND ROUTE
RECOMMENDATIONS
6.4.1. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
All clock signals have to be routed first and
shielded for speeds of 27MHz or higher. The high
speed signals follow the same constraints, as for
the memory and PCI control signals.
Some STPC Interfaces run at high speed and
need to be carefully routed or even shielded like:
The next interfaces to be routed are Memory and
PCI.
1) Memory Interface
2) PCI bus
3) 14 MHz oscillator stage
All the analog noise-sensitive signals have to be
routed in a separate area and hence can be
routed indepedently.
