IR Drop: vdd_mpu (PCB RevJan14, Sentinel PSI)
Dynamic analysis of this PCB design for the MPU power domain determined the vdd_mpu decoupling capacitor loop inductance and impedance vs frequency analysis shown below. As you can see, the loop inductance values ranged from 1.0 to 1.4nH and were less than maximum 2.0nH recommended.
NOTE
Comparing loop inductances for capacitors at different distances from the processor’s input power balls shows an 18% reduction for caps placed closer. This was derived by averaging the inductances for the 3 caps with distances over 800mils (Avg LL = 1.33nH) vs the 3 caps with distances less than 600mils (Avg LL = 1.096nH).
