Backplane Stripline Stackup
 provides an example stackup that may be used to implement the backplane design. The 
stripline shown in 
 is implemented with ground flood on both component and solder side 
of the PCB. The differential stripline traces are etched from the power and ground planes. Note that 
this information is preliminary.
