Core limited is the desired way - as many pads as you can because you can always use more! ## Block Arrangement Harder to resolve routing issues on a PCB than a chip because you have fewer layers to work with. ## Common Blocks Power supply, I/F (physical interfaces), CPU Try to separate analogue and digital.  ## Routing Think of clocks, PS, sensitive reference voltages.
