you can find infos on choosing the blade here: Saw Blade Selection Guide - Rockler Woodworking and Hardware
for birch ply (multiplex) i always use ATB (alternate top bevel) blades with as many theeth as possible (e.g. 96 teeth on my 300mm blade)

As Yai said look for better quality more teeth blade.
For my skil saw this works very well:
7-1/4 in. x 40 Tooth Carbide Circular Saw Blade-D0740R at The Home Depot
For my table saw a 'combination' blade gives great results with plywood:
10 in. x 50 Tooth Combination Circular Saw Blade-D1050X at The Home Depot

for clean / "chip free" cross grain cuts on veneer faced plywood (such as baltic birch), you can't have too many teeth and "expensive" blades / bits save you money every time you use them
this is a nice one

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
One good trick/tip I learned and works great is to score the wood with a sharp box knife. This prevents chips and tears when using cheap blade.
I use a long metal ruler to accurately score the wood.
Agree. I was going to recommend doing this also. It works with melamine too. Even with a good blade, its hard to avoid tearing the veneer, especially when crosscutting.
I use this blade Freud LU79R010 on my table saw. I talked to the guys at woodcraft for a while they recommended this blade and said blades with a near neutral pitch were best for what I was doing. Between the table saw and my Festool TS75 I'm set
Triple chip or best results will be had with a high alternate bevel with a negative rake angle.
More teeth is always better.
A layer of blue masking tape can help with tearout if its still a proben.
Amana and Everlast used to have very good technical refs in their blade catalogs.
And use a guige for skilsaws.
