Re: [SI-LIST] : RF & Digital

Hi Shayle,

My first thought was to have +5V (real noisy!) coupling with a "good" GND reference plane. The other thought was, maybe +2.5V was for his analog circuit. If that is the case, I'd have it near the outer side, and try to keep all my
"digital" signals (critical ones) on the layers away from that plane. If that's not the case with 2.5V, I'd still keep a GND plane next to the +5V plane. Just me.

Opinions?
