Hello
for a 4 layer design with the nRF51822, how is it best to choose the layers? In the datasheet of the balun (bal_nrf02D3) there is a hint, I guess it is more or less just ground planes..? (1:Signal, 2:signal and polygon GND, 3:GND expect chip area, 4:GND) ? Would it be locking for trouble if I choose one layer as a power layer? I would like to do: Signal:some_signal_and_gnd:power:gnd(inkl.battery)
Would it be possible to reach the 4th layer with one via straight (under the chip, using csp)? (Dimensions as in the balun-datasheet: 230:930:230 um) In the balun-datasheet the vias under the csp are just reaching the very next layer under the chip, is this the maximum length for these kind of vias probably? (Expect the one bigger via reaches the GND layer.)
how about the (pcb-)antenna area, keep all layers out of that area I guess?
many thanks in advance
