Saeen,
Just as a side. Did I read your stack up correctly, that your building an 11
layer board. I assume your PECLPWR layer is actually two layers. If not
I'd check with your board vendor about non-symetrical stack ups. I'd be very
uncomfortable with that arrangment. As far as layer assignments, grounds
always make good return current planes, for either edge.

Ok,
I'll ask the obvious question. If all you have is
peclpower and ground, why don't you simply change
layer 3 and 9 to peclpower and layer 6 to ground
and then you would have the most flexibility in your
design. Then you could route on any of the layers.
Whaddya think?

Subject: [SI-LIST] : which layers should I use for routing my high speed
traces
I have the following stackup. I need to route 644 MHz. PECL signals. Which
layers should I use
------------------ gnd
---- route layer 1
------------------ gnd
---- route layer 2
---- route layer 3
------------------ peclpower
---- route layer 4
---- route layer 5
------------------ gnd
---- route layer 6
------------------ gnd
My inclination is to use layers 2,3 and 4,5 because it would provide return
path for
both cases - switching high and low. On the other hand if I use the single
stripline layers,
the return current when the device switched high would have to go through a
cap to enter the power
pin.
What do you people think???
Saeen
