P64H2 Decoupling Requirements
The P64H2 is capable of generating large current swings when switching between logic high and
logic low. This condition could cause the component voltage rails to drop below specified limits.
To avoid this, ensure that the appropriate amount of bulk capacitance is added in parallel to the
voltage input pins. It is recommended that the developer use the amount of decoupling capacitors
specified in the table below to ensure the component maintains stable supply voltages. The
capacitors should be placed as close to the package as possible.
NOTES:
1. In the case of the 20 0.1
µ
F decoupling capacitors for the Vcc3.3V plane, it is recommended that at least five
of these capacitors be placed near the die on the back of the board between ground and the VCC-PCI vias,
as shown in
. This is not a strict requirement, but is recommended to reduce the power
resonance frequency at 66Hz.
