NOTES:
1. Diagram not to scale.
2. No specification for frequencies beyond fcore (core frequency).
3. fpeak, if existent, should be less than 0.05 MHz.
Other Recommendations
• Use shielded type inductors to reduce crosstalk
• Capacitors for the filter can be any value between 22 µF and 100 µF as long components with
ESL ≤ 5 nH and ESR < 0.3 Ω are used.
• Values of either 4.7 uH or 10 uH may be used for the inductor. Filter should support
DC current > 60 mA
• DC voltage drop from VCC_CPU to VCCA should be < 60 mV
• In order to maintain a DC drop of less than 60 mV, the total DC resistance of the filter from
VCC_CPU to the processor socket should be a maximum of 1 Ω.
Other Routing Requirements
• C should be within 600 mils of the VCCA and VSSA pins. An example of the component
placement is shown in Figure 170.
• VCCA route should be parallel and next to VSSA route (minimize loop area)
• A minimum of a 12 mil trace should be used to route from the filter to the processor pins.
• L should be close to C
