We have done several C6713 based designs using a 6 layer PCB and 6mil
trace/space with no problems.
Our stackup:
1 - signal + GND fill
2 - Power +3.3V and +5V plane
3 - signal
4 - Ground plane
5 - Power +1.26V plane
6 - Signal + GND fill

Used approx 20 x 0.1uf caps on the 1.26V and 3.3V supplies + 100uF Tant

Hi C6Xers

I have a job using a TMS320C6713 and got a prototype going in the form
of a daughter board on top of a Spectrum Digital DSK. Now I want to
go to my own PCB. I see in the Gerber files of the DSK that layers
are multiplied in the stackup. I'll guess it's to get low impedance
traces and wonder if anyone can give me insight into any traps ahead
of me. How much can I hang on the DSP buss without the buffers? I've
done lots of analog boards but not a lot of stuff like this.

Thanks for any advice,

Al
