Dear All, There is some problem in the mailbox of min, so the attachment is not through and the mail was not clear in my last request. Sorry for the same. Here are the details... Problem 1: 1 --------------------------- => GND 2 +++++++++++++++ => VCC_1.0V 3 --------------------------- => GND With the above stack-up for the board I have taken first the 2&3 pair alone and simulated with cadence PI tool, where I got a normal result with one 470uF suppressing the noise up to 6MHz Then I included the pair 1&2 to the simulation and proceeded with the multi plane simulation, were the result is some thing I don't understand...!!!. The reason is with one 470uF it is able to suppress the noise up to 10G and more. Please explain this what is the problem, in the stackup or in the multi plane analysis. Problem2: For 1.0V, 2.1A dynamic current and 20uS response of the regulator I am trying to get the decap values. Can any body suggest some easy method of spreading the capacitor across the spectrum....? My board operating frequency is 600MHz so hopefully I have to suppress the noise up to atleast 1200 to 1800MHz I have tried many methods as below 1) Method described in Black Magic book, the number of capacitor is coming nearly 170 2) Method described in Power Distribution Network Design Methodologies chapter 5 (Barry William) there I am not able to get the results reflected in the cadence PI tool Is there any other method which can give the spreading of capacitor across the required spectrum..? Hopping to get a positive reply from the group General Question: In SILIST can we attach files to the mails....I am not able to send any attachments. Please give your suggestions Thanks in advance Regards, Lakshminarayanan.S DISCLAIMER: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
