shallowengineer.calc/calc · Verify this server
Select bypass and bulk decoupling capacitors for IC power supply pins. Computes the target PDN (Power Distribution Network) impedance from supply current, voltage, and allowable ripple using Z_target = V_ripple / I_total. Recommends a ceramic bypass capacitor (high-frequency decoupling, placed closest to IC pins) and a bulk capacitor (low-frequency decoupling, near the regulator). Calculates the ceramic cap's self-resonant frequency assuming typical lead inductance, and checks whether ESR-induced ripple stays within limits. Essential for digital, analog, and mixed-signal PCB design. Chain with lc_resonance to verify the decoupling capacitor's resonant behavior, or with trace_width to size the power trace.
