FPGA Powering PCB Guidelines??

Could someone provide some PCB design guidelines concerning powering my EP3C16Q240 FPGA? I can only use a 2 layer design, and I need 1.2 V to power the FPGA core and 2.5 V to power all the I/O buffer...

This can happen in a company when someone with more "force" than you does not have the updated knowledge about the positiv side of multilayer and the field effects inside a pcb when signal energie is transformed into heat instead of radiated emisions.

i personaly had several discussions in the past and each time it was hard to get the okay from the "force" to give multilayer "a try".

luckiely today they all know about it.

but maybe it is only a personal used pcb and 2 layer is easier to make at home
