Overview The EVA-X4300 is a fully static 32-bit x86-based processor that is compatible with a wide-range of PC peripherals, applications and operating systems, such as DOS, WinCE, Linux, and most popular 32-bit RTOSs (Real Time OS). It enables maximum software re-use based on its feature of legacy compatibility. The EVA-X4300 inte-...
BGA Layout Guideline The package of EVA-X4300 is 581-ball PBGA. The ball diameter is 0.6 mm (24 mil); ball pitch is 1 mm (40 mil). There are 6 rows of balls arranged along the edge of the package. For 6-layer: Ball pad diameter: 24 mil Traces width/ spacing for Signals: 5.5/ 5 mil...

Via-to-pad spacing (center to center): 30 mil Note! All the Vias must be covered by solder mask. To minimize inductance, power vias should be as large as possible and take good care of the inadvertently cut of the ground and power planes. EVA-X4300 System Design Guide...

The propagation speed on typical PCB is about 170 pS/inch (50 Stripline), Ω 150pS/inch (50 Microstrip). Ω There are 4 properties affect the performance of the transmission line: Impedance: reflection/ distortion Time delay High-Frequency Loss: limit signal bandwidth and transmission distance Crosstalk: coupling EVA-X4300 System Design Guide...

A clean or quiet ground must be located at the point where interconnects leave the system. Connect (“Bridge”) those grounds with only one connection. Only those signals required for operation or interconnect can run into the isolated area. EVA-X4300 System Design Guide...

Supply (V) Note DDR2 For detail of power-on-straps function, please refer to the EVA-X4300 data sheet. Do follow the power-on sequence to prevent excessive current from the power supplies during power-up and power-down periods: Power-up core supply (VDD_CORE), and then power-up the I/O supply (DVDD).
The other way is to use an external 14.318MHz oscillator, and directly route the oscil- lator is output into XTALi pin of EVA-X4300. A serial damping resistor and a bypass capacitor are recommended for EMI reduction. The XTALo pin should leave uncon- nected.
DDR2 Interface It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the specification and the basic elec- trical operation of the DDR2 interface. EVA-X4300 DDR2 interface substrate conductors’ length for signal integrality: EVA-X4300 Substrate Conductor Length Net Name Length in microns MA[0] 13283.31...

The purpose is to provide a path for return currents to minimize crosstalk and EMI. The DDR2 devices should be placed as close to EVA-X4300 as possible. The distance between DDR2 devices and EVA-X4300 should less than 3 inches. Other devices should be kept away to ensure other signals do not interfere with the DDR2 interface.

In a step-down switching regulator, the input bypass capacitor, the main power switch and the freewheeling diode carry discontinuous currents with high dt/di. For jitter-free operation, the size of the loop formed by these components should be minimized. EVA-X4300 System Design Guide...

8 mil/ 8 mil/ >20 mil. And the mismatch of the differential pairs should be less than ±70 mil. These values may vary depending on the actual PCB parameters. The maximum trace length of USB differential pairs should be less than 2”. EVA-X4300 System Design Guide...

USB data lines must be routed as “critical signals”. Locate the USB connector close to EVA-X4300. The DP and DM signals in a pair must be routed in parallel to each other. Do not route these traces near high frequency signals. Guard ground traces on each side of the signal pair can minimize the induced common mode noise.
1 KΩ. All IDE signals need to be serial terminated. Place the termination resistors for A[0...2], CS[0..1], /IOR, /IOW and /DACK near EVA-X4300. Place the termina- tion resistors for D[0..15], DRQ, IORDY, and IRQ near IDE connector. The termination value should be optimized to compensate for transceiver and trace impedance to match the characteristic cable impedance.
2.12 LPC Interface A Low Pin Count (LPC) controller is integrated in EVA-X4300. The LPC interface is to replace ISA interface serving as a bus interface between the system processor and peripherals (e.g. LPC super I/O chip). Many of the signals are the same as signals found on the PCI interface.
Magnetics Selection Guide: Manufacturer Part Number Note Mingtek HN16005CG Keep the distance between the EVA-X4300 and the RJ-45 connector short (under 4”). Route the differential traces, TX±, RX±, TD± & RD±, for 100 Ω differential impedance. EVA-X4300 System Design Guide...

“Bridge” or Ferrite Bead. Please refer to section 2.4 for more details. Place the external resistor of ISET, pin J24, as close to the EVA-X4300 as possible. And connect another end of the external resistor to the isolated analog ground plane described above.
