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).

4. Be sure to include all component and routing parasitics.
5. Sweep across component/parasitic tolerances.
6. To observe IR drop, use DC current of 30 mA and minimum VCC

level.
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.
