Hi Istvan, What is the purpose of using the ferrite bead in this example? It appears that the requirements at both nodes (n1) and (n2) are identical (1.375V with max allowed ripple=2.5%). If those two nodes were connected together and the target impedance condition met wouldnât that be enough? Thank you, Cristian ________________________________ From: Istvan Novak <istvan.novak@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: jagdishgoswami@xxxxxxxxx; si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, February 3, 2014 2:03:24 AM Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: Query related to Decoupling Analysis and Ferite Bead Hi Jagdish, The impedance will not vary much spatially on the planes until you get up to the tens or hundreds of MHz frequency range (or unless the plane resistance/inductance was very bad with respect to your target impedance) and therefore you can expect the ferrite bead to give good isolation at that high frequency. At lower frequencies your approach is correct: the ferrite bead, in series to its load on n2, behaves like a load on n1.
