Hi Chris, Thanks for the link on the Uturn current. Since Nikki has two VCC power planes. Can we minimize/avoid the effect of U-turns by slicing=20 a portion of reference plane(wedge) just between the diff pairs and having decaps for those power plans near the trace and void(GND transition caps) this way there is no R-dash +/- currents we see R+/- currents from TXr to Rxr. I anticipate R+/- to go from Vccplane1 to GND through cap then from GND to VCC plane2.=20 I hope we have enough space between the pair so the individual trace impedance is not affected w.r.t to it's reference.
