Hi all, I'm investigating two different stackup configuration for a 14 layer board: Stackup 1 (last 8 layers): Layer 8 - GND L9 - Power (split plane) L10 - signal L11 - signal L12 - GND L13 - signal L14 - signal (BOTTOM) Stackup 2 Layer 8 - GND L9 - signal L10 - Power (split plane) L11 - signal L12 - GND L13 - signal L14 - signal (BOTTOM) I can't move GND layer 8, the only variable is the position of the splitted power plane. Which is the best solution? Routing critical nets on layers 9 and 11 of stackup 2, is splitted power plane a big problem or the ground planes 8 and 12 minimize split plane influence? Or is preferable stackup 1, with ground plane adjacent to the splits? Thanks in advance.
