To circumvent the inductance of a via, choose a low inductance cap that has the 0508 aspect ratio over the 0805 see http://www.johansondielectrics.com/products/lic/JDI_Low-Induct_11-02.pdf Steven Salkow Lockheed Martin 3200 Zanker Rd San Jose, CA 95134 (408) 473-4058 steven.salkow@xxxxxxxx Fax (408) 473-3044 > -----Original Message----- > From: Christopher.Crowley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [SMTP:Christopher.Crowley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 7:25 AM > To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [SI-LIST] Decoupling capacitor placement > > Hello, > I am looking to add more decoupling to a high pin count BGA and due to > routing > constraints I am unable to get as close as I would like to the device. > Does anyone > have any experience with making one land pad and then soldering a couple > caps > on top of each other to the one land area?
