PDN Target Impedance

Decoupling Estimator

POWER RAIL REQUIREMENTS

Supply Voltage (Vdd)V
Allowed Ripple / Tolerance%
Max Transient Current (I_max)A
Current Transient Rate (50%)A
Assuming 50% of I_max as typical dynamic step

CAPACITOR BANK ESTIMATE

To meet this target impedance at high frequencies, decoupling capacitors must provide a lower total ESL and ESR.

Required F_max (~1/Tr):100 MHz
Est. Target Capacitance:0.0 uF
Target Impedance (Z_target)
0.00

The PDN impedance must be kept below this value from DC up to the maximum frequency of interest to prevent voltage droop during switching transients.

Allowable Ripple (V) 0.0 V
Delta I (50%) 0.0 A
