Recommended Flow for Deriving Decoupling for FPGA System using the System_Decap Tab

To use the System_Decap tab, perform the following steps:
1. Select the Altera device family or device.

2. Set up the stack up information in the Stackup tab.

3. Select the decoupling scheme.

The tool updates the power rail connection configuration to the scheme recommended in the Pin

Connection Guidelines.

4. Ensure that the following default parameters match your system, and make the necessary changes such

as:
• power rail configuration

• relativity of power rails within the same power group

• power group layer

• number of power/ground Via pairs

• DC voltage supply for VRM module

• decoupling cap location

5. Enter the projected current consumption of each power rail.

If you applied the Custom setting, refer to

BGA Via Section

on page 11,

Plane Section

on page 11, or

Spreading Section

on page 12 to enter your values.

Stackup

Enter the PCB stackup information of your design in the Stackup tab. This tab updates related data in the

BGA_Via, Plane_Cap, Cap_Mount and the X2Y_Mount tabs. The stackup information in this tab is also

used for the System_Decap tab. Follow the instructions provided at the beginning of the tab to fill in the

content for this tab.
