Hi

I have reviewed all si-list threads regarding to power integrity and decoupling 
cap selection. all have said that there must be a target impedance and this 
target impedance should be met up to several harmonics of existing clocks 
frequencies ; and the target impedance is calculated using the below equation: 
Target impedance= VDD x (Voltage tolerance) / "I_transient"

OK, But nobody explain how "I_transient" value could be calculated. 

 In all datasheets there is a ICC(current drawn from power supply) in absolute 
maximum rating table. Is this ICC the same "I_transient"? or a fraction of ICC 
should be used as "I_transient"? 

 What is the relationship between ICC mentioned in the "Absolute maximum rating 
table of Chip datasheets" and the "I_transient" in target impedance formula? 
any comment is appreciated.


Regards,
Saeed Bakhshi
