Abstract

A layer allocating apparatus for a multi-layer circuit board is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the layer allocating apparatus arranged from top to bottom as a component layer, a ground layer, a power layer, and a solder layer. The powerlayer is sliced into a plurality of reference ground areas each is located at somewhere to correspond to signal layout areas of the solder layer, so as to allow signal lines of the component layer and solder layer to take reference to the reference ground areas on the adjacent power layer. The power layer also includes a plurality of power layers each provides different operating voltages, and electrically couples with corresponding power layouts of the solder layer and component layer through vias, thereby enlarging the total area of power planes, so as to provide a table power source and attenuate the ground/bounce effect.
