Hi Group & Bruce, I'm kind of a "newby" when it comes to SI, but am reading Lee Richey's books on the subject. One thing he recommends for PDN designs is the use of bypass capacitors with a more lossy dielectric (higher ESR), such as X5R, Z5U or Y5V, to dampen the anti-resonance. Would this be a reasonable thing to try? Ken ___________________ Kenneth Wyatt Wyatt Technical Services LLC Woodland Park, CO ken@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web Newsletter Connect with me on LinkedIn!
