Embedded Capacitance - The
Next Step in PWB Design
Presenters: Richard Charbonneau (StorageTek) and
Charles Grasso(StorageTek)
Date : October 14th 1999.
What we saw:
Part 1 of the presentation started off somewhat
uniquely with Charles Grasso moderating an interactive discussion with the audience. The
interactive discussion centered on some Decoupling Engineering Dogma. The presentation
then moved to a discussion of the Physics of Power Bus Noise and an analysis of decoupling
capacitor performance.
Part 2, presented by Rick Charbonneau, reviewed
the details of the project including; project members and mission statement, goals and
objectives, the discovery process, test vehicle design, material considerations,
electrical and qualification testing, modeling, deliverables, and timeline for the
project.
Part 3, also presented by Charles Grasso, reviewed
some swept frequency response data taken on some of the pwb materials.
