Chapter 5: Board Design Guidelines
Another choice is to mount an 0201 capacitor next to the BGA via pads. Doing this eliminates the
need to use filled via in pad. An example of this placement is shown in Figure 5-12.
The Artix-7 FPGA and Zynq-7000 AP SoC packages with GTP transceivers have analog power
supply pins and adjacent ground pins. Table 5-8 through Table 5-13 show suggested power and
ground pin pairs for mounting the 0.1 µF capacitors. Following the guidance in these tables and
using the previously discussed layout and placement guidance provides effective power supply
decoupling by maintaining a minimum amount of inductance in the path between the on-die
circuitry and the capacitor on the printed circuit board.
