11.1.3 Output Clocks
Similar to the input clocks, the output clocks have vias that immediately go to a buried layer with a ground plane above them and a
ground flooded bottom layer. There is a ground flooding between the clock output pairs to avoid crosstalk. The figure below shows the
output clocks.
Figure 11.7. Output Clock Layer (Layer 7)
As shown in the figure below, there should be a line of vias through the ground flood on either side of the output clocks to ensure that
the ground flood immediately next to the differential pairs has a low inductance path to the ground plane on Layers 3 and 6.
