Dear Experts, I have read a couple of documents are from silicon IP vendors discussing the number of power/ground pads needed to meet SSO requirements for a given number of output drivers. These documents mention that worse case conditions for SSO are with the smallest output load capacitance. At first this seems counter intuitive. My initial reasoning would be that a larger capacitance would present a lower impedance load and hence greater dI/dt, greater IR drop and greater supply rail bounce. Could you please help me understand?
