Power Delivery Network (1), Overview
Impedance Modeling of Power Rails
[Power Delivery Network]
※ Power Design Consideration
- DC: Minimize Resistance (Rdc) of Power/Ground rails between VR and IC
- AC: Minimize Impedance (Z) of the entire Power Delivery Network in order to reduce the ripple voltage.

DC Analysis
- IR (Voltage) drop analysis for power rails
[Top layer] MSM8996 Pin
[Bottom layer] PMIC to de-Cap
[Layer 5] Power plane
[Bottom layer] GND Net

Power Delivery Network (3)
AC Analysis
- Impedance of PDN can be reduced below the target impedance by using capacitors
Target Impedance Z= ΔV/I *ΔV: Allowable Ripple, I: Current
A decrease of Impedance with capacitors

Power Delivery Network (5), Trend
Trend of PDN in a Smartphone
- The improvement of AP performance increases the amount of 3T cap. and low profile capacitors
Category - Function / Capacitor (1) - Regulating / Capacitor (2) - Decoupling / Capacitor (3) - High Freq. Decoupling
Category - Why Parallel MLCC / Capacitor (1) - Capacitance ↑ / Capacitor (2) - Inductance ↓ / Capacitor (3) - Inductance ↓

Power Delivery Network (6), Case 3
Each function range of Capacitors in PDN
PMIC - Impedance ↓ Freq. range, MLCC - Tens of kHz~ Hundreads of kHz, 3T - Hundreads of kHz~ Tens of MHz, LSC - Tens of MHz ↑
MLCC - Hundreads of kHz, 3 Terminal - Hundreads of kHz~Tens of MHZ, LSC - Tens of MHZ
