You might find my early article on this subject (back in 2000) in= teresting. It explains the theory behind Lee's suggestions. The article is "ESR and Bypass Capacitor Self Resonant Behavior: = How to Select Bypass Caps" and you can find it here:http://www.ultracad.com/article= _outline.htm[1] I also have a chapter on this in my ne= w book "Current: How it Flows, How it Reacts" (Prentice Hall) publication d= ate 5/17 Doug Brooks = =0A=0A-------= - Original Message -------- =0ASubject: [SI-LIST] Re: anti-resonance poi= nt when use Embedded =0ACapacitance Material =0AFrom: Ken Wyatt <ken@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[1]> =0AD= ate: Thu, May 09, 2013 6:00 am =0ATo: bruce@xxxxxxxxxx[2] =0ACc: s= i-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx[3], istva= n.novak@xxxxxxxxxxx[4] =0A =0AHi Group &Bruce, =0AI'm kind o= f a "newby" when it comes to SI, but am reading Lee Richey's books on the s= ubject. =0A =0AOne thing he recommends for PDN designs is the use of = bypass capacitors with a more lossy dielectric (higher ESR), such as X5R, Z= 5U or Y5V, to dampen the anti-resonance.
