Abstract

System-Level Power Distribution Network (PDN) Impedance Optimization Utilizing the Zeros of the Decoupling Capacitors (Decaps) is Discussed in This Paper. an Example of a Practical PDN Application is Proposed to Validate the Poles and Zeros Algorithm (P&Z) Presented. the System-Level PDN is with the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), Package (PKG), and Chip, as Well as the Low-Frequency Decaps on the PCB and the On-PKG Decoupling Capacitors. the PDN Optimization Results Are Compared with Those from the Genetic Algorithm (GA) to Show the Reasonableness and Validity of the P&Z Algorithm.
