3.6.3 Simulations
The target impedance of the VDDIO1 plane is calculated as 330 mΩ based on the following values
(see Power Supply, page 38):
•V
SUPPLY
= 3.3 V,
•I
trans
= 500 mA
• Ripple = 5%
The following figures show the impedance of the planes (VDDIO1 and VDDIO2). The impedance of the
plane has been improved by decoupling capacitors and is kept under 0.2 Ω till 100 MHz.
