Hi all, It seems many SI engineers are using the method described below to define the target impedance profile for PSD: Z(f) = 0.05*V_DC/I(f) or Z_target=0.05*V_DC/Imax(f) Z(f)---target impedance profile at freq f; Z_target---target impedanace at all freq; 0.05---allowed tolerance; V_DC---power raill; I(f) ---current profile; Imax(f)---max I(f)---generallt 0.5Imax(t). But this setup does not guarantee the overall noise is 5%. All it does is making sure noise at each of the frequency of interest is less than 5%. In time domain, the combined content has the possibility of bigger than 5%. So is there a better way to define target impedance profile?
