#91985 - The real pain of mixed
Responding to: ???'s previous message
What are the experiences, caveats?

Just came to think of it

The real pain of mixed is that you have both +5 and +3.3 to route. One extremely dense board went to 6 layers for that reason. When there is room enough my layout person have used a method of locating the 5V parts (mostly interfaces) at the edge of the board and making the 3.3 volt "framed" by 5V in layer3.
like this

where + is 5V layer3 and o is 3V3 layer 3
