Definition 1: The effective radius of an on-chip decoupling capacitor is the maximum distance between the current load or power supply and the decoupling capacitor, at which the capacitor is capable of providing sufficient charge to the cur-rent load in order to maintain the overall power distribution noise below the maximum tolerable level. 3.
Decoupling capacitors are widely used to reduce power sup-ply noise. On-chip decoupling capacitors have traditionally been allocated into the available white space on a die. The efficacy of on-chip decoupling capacitors depends upon the impedance of the power/ground lines connecting the capac-itors to the current loads and power supplies.
The maximum frequency at which the decoupling capacitor is effective is determined by the parasitic resistance and in-ductance of the metal lines and the size of the decoupling capacitor. maximum parasitic impedance between the decoupling capacitor and the current load or power supply exists at which the decoupling capacitor is effective.
On-chip decoupling capacitors have traditionally been allocated into the available white space on a die. The efficacy of on-chip decoupling capacitors depends upon the impedance of the power/ground lines connecting the capac-itors to the current loads and power supplies. A maximum effective radius exists for each on-chip decoupling capaci-tor.
Beyond this effective distance, a decoupling capacitor is ineffective. Depending upon the parasitic impedance of the power distribution system, the maximum voltage drop seen at the current load is caused either by the first droop (determined by the rise time) or by the second droop (determined by the transition time).
on-chip decoupling capacitance is determined from (10). In the case of a single line connecting the decoupling capacitor to the current load, the critical wire length is determined from (12). The maximum effective distance based on the charge time is determined from (17).
