Content-type: text/plain; charset=gb2312 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi all, A ten layers high speed PCB, the second layer is GND, the third layer is signal, the fourth is Power layer. GND plane is a full one, never been splited. Several types of voltage are on the power layer, so the power layer is isolated by so many moats. Thickness between the second and third layer is 7 mil, while 8 mil between the third and fourth layer. Some high speed signals traces are routed on the third layer, such as PCI Express and SAS/SATA signals. If the high speed signal traces go across isolation moat of the fourth power layer, can it be treated as crossing split reference plane and give rise to signal integrity problem? If it will give rise to signal integrity problem, can we use stiching capacitors across isolation moats of the power layer to deal with this issue, while changing the isolation moats? Any thought on this issue would be appreciated. Best regards. Zhuyongfa HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD.
