All six layers in the processor area should be used for power delivery. Four layers should be used
for VCC_CPU and two layers should be used for ground. Traces are not sufficient for supplying
power to the processor due to the high current and low resistance required to meet the processor
voltage specifications. To satisfy these requirements shapes that encompasses the power delivery
part of the processor pin field are required. Figure 146 through Figure 151 show examples of how
to use shapes to delivery power to the processor.
