Eric, as a first order approximation, yes. But a better way to do this is the way your neighbors at Rambus have detailed, and model from the die structures all the way out to the reference requirements you are setting for the application board. This way, you can balance the trade-offs available to manage the parallel resonance of the package power interconnect inductance and in-package / on-die capacitance. If you skip this step, then it will be quite possible for you to end up with a resonance near a high current peak and starve your part. CAMs are already twitchy enough. Regards, Steve.
