For more information on peak-to-peak noise values, see the Recommended Operating Conditions table in the device-specific data manual.
ESL must be as low as possible and not exceed 0.5 nH.
The power delivery network (PDN) impedance characteristics are defined versus the device activity (that runs at different frequency) based on the Recommended Operating Conditions table in the Specifications chapter of the device-specific data manual.
The static drop requirement drives the maximum acceptable PCB resistance between the PMIC or the external SMPS and the processor power balls.
Assuming that the external SMPS (power IC) feedback sense is taken close to processor power balls.
High-frequency (30 MHz – 70 MHz) PCB decoupling capacitors.
Maximum Reff from VRM/SMPS/PMIC to processor.
Maximum loop inductance for decoupling capacitor.
Decoupling capacitor counts and values are provided as a baseline recommendation only. TI recommends that all PCB designs be simulated prior fabrication to ensure that the processor PDN requirements are met.
Ganged rails must meet all requirements of each member rail.
