Hi SI Gurus, Currently I am designing High Speed digital Board Using New Texas DSP TMS320c64X series. No of Power Pins sharing 1.4Volts and 3.3v are 71 & 51 Its Recommended to Have Decap for Each pin but its Practically impossible to Provide that much Can Anybody Advise me How many Decaps are Required? We have separate Plane for both 1.4 and 3.3Volts. (Stack up10+) nagaraj -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Tadashi Arai Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 1:51 PM To: [SI-LIST] Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: planer capacitors Hi Bill, The reason is that there is almost no inductance with planer caps, besides the discrete may have large. As you know, discrete caps behave inductor rather than capacitor @ high frequency, so that impedance curve is shown as "V" shape. You can only get effect at the bottom of "V".
