Hi,=20 I think the best approache is simulation. You can use for example free tool from UltraCad. Then you have to define the Target Impedance, and you can see if the capacitors chosen are enough or not.

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: =20 //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 =20 ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
