PDN Target Impedance

Voltage-budget / current-step ratio

POWER RAIL REQUIREMENTS

Supply Voltage (Vdd)V
Dynamic droop budget%
Actual current step (ΔI)A
Use the load’s current stepA
Enter the current change, not total steady-state current. Reserve separate voltage budget for DC regulation, tolerance and other errors.

This is a target, not a predicted board impedance or capacitor recommendation. Establish the frequency range from the device requirements and evaluate VRM, package, planes, capacitors, ESR and ESL separately. TI PDN analysis.

Target Impedance (Z_target)
0.00 mohms

First-order target: allocated dynamic droop divided by actual load-current step. A flat target does not by itself establish transient compliance.

Allowable Ripple (V) 0.0 V
Actual current step 0.0 A
