David, First, as Fred said there's more to it than meets the eye. Second, I don't think you can get there from here with a 3.3V technology. If you are digital, that would require an ~ 30 ps risetime (10GBs). I don't know of any single-ended 3.3V technology that can do that. There's a book list that periodically appears on SI list of all of the good/great books on the subject. You could parse the list archives to find them. I'll start you with a couple of the most often quoted: Signal Integrity-Simplified, Eric Bogatin, and High-Speed Digital Design, Howard Johnson. Good luck, Ken -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of david stern Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 3:08 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] pcb board capacitors hi I am designing a board working at 5GHz. The input voltage is 3.3v. What values of capacitors I have to use in order to filter the input voltage how I calculate the capacitor values where can i find material about it?
