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.
