Intel® IXP43X Product Line of Network Processors—Hardware Design Guidelines

•Use at least one decoupling capacitor per power pin and place it as close as possible to the pin.

•Minimize the number of traces routed across the air gaps between power islands.

—Each crossing introduces signal degradation due to the impedance discontinuity.

—For traces that must cross air gaps, route them on the side of the board next to a ground plane to reduce or eliminate signal degradation caused by crossing the gap.

—When this is not possible, then route the trace to cross the gap at a right angle (90°).
