Guidelines

This chapter describes layout and routing recommendations to insure a robust design. Follow these guidelines as closely as possible. Any deviations from the guidelines listed here should be simulated to insure adequate margin is still maintained in the design

2.1BGA Quadrant Assignment

Intel assigned pins on the 82443GX to simplify routing and keep board fabrication costs down, by permitting a motherboard to be routed in 4-layers. Figure 2-1shows the 4 signal quadrants of the 82443GX. The component placement on the motherboard should be done with this general flow in mind. This simplifies routing and minimizes the number of signals which must cross. The individual signals within the respective groups have also been optimized to be routed using only 2 PCB layers.

Note: The Intel® 82443GX AGPset Datasheet contains a complete list of signals and Ball assignments.
