Zhangkun, Good summary, I would offer just one more comment regarding your #5 below: If your PDN requirement is 0.1 ohms with a BW of 25MHz, you can create a flat resistive impedance, so that you dont necessarily need to worry about antiresonance between the PDN capacitance and feed inductance. You can take POSCAP or tantalum capacitors at low frequencies so that their cumulative ESR is 0.1 ohms, and complement it with appropriate ceramic caps to give 0.1 ohms at high frequencies as well. You can take small-size 1-ohm resistors and MLCCs in series in sufficient numbers to give you 0.1 ohms and the <1nH inductance you need for 25MHz BW. Or, you could use a dozen of the TDK controlled ESR MLCCs: CERB3UX5R0G105MT on http://www.component.tdk.com/cap_technotes.php# Regards, Istvan Zhangkun wrote: > Dear all: > > Based on the talk about how to couple noise to the PDN of oscillator.
