Reduction of jitter in a semiconductor device by controlling printed ciucuit board and package substrate stackup

摘要

A model and method are provided for lowering device jitter by controlling the stackup of PCB planes so as to minimize inductance between a FPGA and PCB voltage planes for critical core voltages within the FPGA. Furthermore, a model and method are provided for lowering jitter by controlling the stackup of package substrate planes so as to minimize inductance between a die and substrate voltage planes for critical core voltages within the die.
