Hi Mani, Find the attached document on decoupling. It would give you some idea/general rule to calculate required decoupling capacitance. Best Regards, Kamakshaiah -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Subramanian R Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 5:07 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Decoupling at 800Mhz Hi All, We are planning to use a processor running at 800 MHz. I was just reading up on the decoupling methods. The Processor PCB guidelines recommend using 1uF 0402 pack for high frequency decoupling. But at 800 MHz, will not the cap/package inductance dominate. The guideline doesn't say anything about plane decoupling also. Am I missing something? What are the best approaches for decoupling? Any suggestions will be very useful. Thank you in advance, Regards Mani ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Ecartis -- -- Type: application/octet-stream -- File: decoupling.pdf -- Desc: decoupling.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
