Four-Layer Motherboard Stack-Up
The following figure shows a 4-layer stack-up.
• If possible, signals should be referenced to a V

Design Considerations
Intel has found that the following recommendations aid in the design of an Intel Pentium 4
processor-based platform.
• Impedance requirements
60-ohm impedance ± 15% for AGP at 5mil trace width
50-ohm impedance ± 15% for the system bus at 7 mil trace width
28-ohm impedance ± 10% for the memory interface at 18 mil trace width
• Minimum via size is 12 mil finished in a 26 mil land with 35 mil antipad
