Hello SI experts,
I am faced to a stackup issue for a multichip module including a DSP die 
with 1.9V core and 3.3V I/O supplies.

In the stackup the 2 planes are coupled each other with about 550 pF:
Dielectric thicknesse between the 2 planes is 127µm and dielectric 
constant is 9.8 (Alumina).
Coupling surface is about 80mm x 10mm.
We have thus C = 8.856* 10 * (80*10)/127 = 547pF

1.9V DSP core PDS impedance is in the order of 2 ohms (estimated from 
decoupling study).
Noise on 3.3V power plane can be in the order of 100mVpp.
=> Do you think it can be an issue for noise coupling from 3.3V I/O 
plane to 1.9V plane?
=> I suppose noise coupling from 1.9V to 3.3V power plane shouldn't be a 
problem, do you agree?

Thank you for your answers.

Regards.
JP Bouthemy
