6.2.3 Backplane Stripline Stackup
Figure 16 provides an example stackup that may be used to implement the backplane design. The
stripline shown in Figure 16 is implemented with ground flood on both component and solder side
of the PCB. The differential stripline traces are etched from the power and ground planes. Note that
this information is preliminary.
