Hi All, Is anyone aware of any references that explore impedance continuity in a GSSG stackup. Given a stackup that's composed of Gnd - SigA - SigB - Gnd, what is the impact of traces or density of traces on the SigB layer on the impedance of traces on SigA. Effectively, how densely can I cram traces overtop of each other, what are the general rules for working with this kind of layout, and what are the rules of thumb for understanding the impact on impedance, crosstalk, etc. Am I right in assuming that Hyperlinx (and presumably other 2/2.5D simulators) doesn't look at the impedance impact of overlapping traces? (Even if the SigB traces are so dense that they practically form a continuous plane at that layer.) And that crosstalk seems to be properly modelled between the A and B layers.
