MAX10 10M16SCU324 decoupling strategy using PDN tool.

Hello, I am trying to use the PDN tool, provided by Intel, to select and play a bit with different types of caps, so that the cap set will keep Zeff lower than Ztarget of my design. However, I hav...

    Got it! Thanks a lot!
    Meanwhile, despite showing the dynamic current in mA in EPE tool, PDN tool (Imax) section, requires the same value from the EPE ( dynamic current values) but the designer is supposed to convert them in amps, right? Other wise if I just copy and paste the values from EPE ( e.g. 25.45mA, 103mA) the Total Current [ A ] under Rail Group Summary section, increases dramatically.

    In general, If in EPE tool the dynamic current is 25.5mA, and it is for the all IO banks, I have to divide 25.5 by the number of the banks, and then to turn it to Amps, and later to fill the Imax rows up?

    Thanks!
