I think you will find the answer is "lots" - and that will include using blind vias. I am thinking you are going to be into 20+ layers by the time you have enough ground plane layers for those high speed impedance matched signal lines. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
