Hello, Diego:
I would like to suggest you to add one more layer to make the PCB structure
symmetrical and provide return path for analog signals instead of embedding
them
into two digital ground layers.
For a mixed signals design, the most importance task is to suppress the
interference between analog and digital circuitry to minimum. This can be
achieved
by partitioning the two circuitry parts, as well as the signals properly.
You are mentioning testboard and I assume it needs not pass EMC validation.
For a test-only board I normally tend to not over-constrain the design. For
example,
only keep your most critical signals well terminated and impedance-matched.
As a
complementary, keep most of the digital signals accessible on the outer
layer so
that it is easy to do some modification on copper in case there is problem.
I tend to
leave all the analog signals on the outer layers instead of embedded.
Regards.
