13 years agoDecoupling for C-IV GX
Hi, I am using EP4CGX150CF23. I am not conversant with the PDN tool. I have very little idea of decoupling and bypassing. I came across the decoupling schematics for EP4CGX150DF31. There ...

13 years agoActually the recommendation for BGAs is not to decouple on each power pin but to decouple the planes instead. Connect each power pin to the relevant power plane with their own via, and connect each decoupling capacitor to the relevant plane with its own via (or, if you have the space, with multiple vias for each capacitor). This is the best way to reduce the series inductance between the BGA and the decoupling capacitors.
