9.8 Decoupling Recommendations
When designing a board, the following decoupling recommendations should be
followed:
โข Capacitors should be mounted as close to the EP80579 as possible. They should be
no further than 10 mm from the edge of the EP80579 package for the DDR2
channel.
โข Decoupling caps should be placed near any signal reference layer change.
This can
be done by adding a 0.1ฮผF capacitor between DDR Power and Ground where the
Memory Clock traces change reference layers.
Note: These decoupling recommendations are for the EP80579 pins. Place multiple capacitors
in parallel to get the desired value for capacitance and ESL.
