Muhammed, the tracewidth is already dependent on the stack up, multiples of trace width are a very good rule of thumb. Sarada, For striplines 5x tw is usually no meaningful crosstalk. At 4x tw the coupling is higher but still ok with PCIe in most cases. For tighter coupling you would have to do simulations to find out if you meet the performance.

It is all depends on the stack-up, diff. pair track/gap spacing and length they run in parallel to each other on the layout. Regards, M.

Hi All, Could anyone tell me what the spacing we need maintain between diff pairs(TX & RX) for PCIe2 Gen 2. As per below snapshot, it will be 4x the trace width .If my understanding is wrong ,please correct me.
