5.9.4 Custom

Solutions

As long as designers satisfy filter performance and requirements as specified and outlined in
Section 5.9.2, other solutions are acceptable. Custom solutions should be simulated against a
standard reference core model (see Figure 29).

2. 120 pF capacitor represents internal decoupling capacitor.
3. 1 k

4. Be sure to include all component and routing parasitics.
5. Sweep across component/parasitic tolerances.

7. For other modules (interposer, DMM, etc.), adjust routing resistor if desired, but use minimum numbers.

Voltage Regulation Guidelines

A universal PGA370 design will need the voltage regulation module (VRM) or on-board voltage
regulator (VR) to be compliant with Intel VRM 8.5 DC-DC Converter Design Guidelines.

Decoupling Guidelines for Universal PGA370
Designs

These preliminary decoupling guidelines for universal PGA370 designs are estimated to meet the
specifications of VRM 8.5 DC-DC Converter Design Guidelines.
