Description

Decoupling design method for board-level power distribution network based on maximum time domain transient noise
Technical Field
the invention belongs to the technical field of electronic circuits, relates to a decoupling design method for a board-level power distribution network, in particular to a selection method for decoupling capacitors of the board-level power distribution network based on maximum time domain transient noise, and can be used for suppressing power noise in high-speed circuit board design.
Background
the Power Distribution Network (PDN) is a current path through which the output current of the voltage regulator flows into the chip Power pin, and a high-impedance PDN design introduces large voltage fluctuation to form Power noise, which affects the stability of the circuit and even causes the circuit to work abnormally. The reasonable decoupling design of the power distribution network can effectively inhibit power supply noise and ensure that power supply ripple noise meets noise tolerance, so the research on the decoupling design of the power distribution network becomes an important research field. The power distribution network comprises a chip-level power distribution network, a packaging-level power distribution network and a board-level power distribution network, and in view of the fact that decoupling designs of the chip-level power distribution network and the packaging-level power distribution network are mostly integrated in the high-speed chip, a hardware engineer only needs to research the decoupling design of the board-level power distribution network.
At present, researches on PDN decoupling design mainly focus on a frequency domain, a frequency domain target impedance is taken as a decoupling standard, a decoupling capacitor is added to enable the PDN frequency domain impedance to be smaller than the target impedance, the key of the process lies in determination of the type and the number of the decoupling capacitor, however, the frequency domain PDN decoupling design can cause an over-design problem. For example, in a patent entitled "power distribution network design method based on flying capacitor selection algorithm" with publication No. CN 102419790B, the first xiuqin, lugwei et al discloses a method for selecting a decoupling capacitor by using a self-resonant frequency of a capacitor, which first finds a first frequency point that does not satisfy a frequency domain target impedance, selects a capacitor having a self-resonant frequency closest to the frequency point as a decoupling capacitor, and repeats the above operations until the frequency domain impedances of all the frequency points are less than the target impedance in the entire decoupling frequency range. By the method, the decoupling network can be rapidly configured to enable the power noise to meet the requirements, however, the method does not consider the influence of the quality factor of the capacitor and the selection of the decoupling frequency point on the configuration of the decoupling capacitor network, so that the number of the selected decoupling capacitors is large, and the over-design is serious. In order to overcome the above disadvantages, in a patent application with an authorization publication number of CN 104112048B entitled "method for selecting decoupling capacitors for power distribution network based on maximum anti-resonance point", liu yang, original jade chapter, etc., a method for selecting decoupling capacitors by using the maximum anti-resonance point and quality factor is disclosed. The method further reduces the number of decoupling capacitors and alleviates over-design, however, the frequency domain decoupling design obtains the target impedance on the premise of assuming that the worst current occurs at any frequency point of the concerned frequency band, the components of the actual current at different frequency points are different, and the current component at each frequency point cannot reach the worst current, so that the PDN decoupling design by taking the target impedance obtained by the method as the reference inevitably causes over-design problems.
In order to overcome the defects in frequency Domain Design, Mushui Zhan, Hongzhou Tan and the like propose a Power Distribution Network decoupling Design Method based on Time Domain Transient Impedance in a published 'New Power Distribution Network Design Method for Digital Systems Using Time-Domain transfer Impedance' (IEEE Transactions on Components Packaging and manufacturing Technology,2013) paper, the Technology defines an ideal capacitor, an ideal inductor and Time Domain Transient Impedance of the ideal resistor under the condition that input is triangular pulse, the PDN Time Domain Transient Impedance is smaller than target Impedance by adding a decoupling capacitor, and a decoupling scheme with less capacitance decoupling compared with that required by a traditional frequency Domain target Impedance Method is obtained under the condition of meeting the same Power noise. However, the decoupling time range is not limited, the selection standard of the decoupling capacitors and the calculation method of the number of various decoupling capacitors are not given, so that a designer needs to determine the decoupling time range and select the decoupling capacitors according to experience to determine the number of capacitors, and the actual operability is not strong.
In summary, the existing frequency domain PDN decoupling design method has an over-design problem, while the existing time domain PDN decoupling design method has a problem of poor operability.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the following figures and examples:
Referring to fig. 1, a decoupling design method for a board-level power distribution network based on maximum time domain transient noise includes the following steps:
Step 1, calculating time domain target impedance Z of board-level power distribution networktime_tarThe method comprises the following concrete steps:

In general, the switching current of a chip can be approximated byPeriodic triangular wave, and the rise time of plate-level current is T through the decoupling effect of chip-level capacitor and packaging-level capacitorrThe step current I (t) can be approximately synthesized by a series of triangular pulse currents, and I (t) can be expressed as

As can be seen from the above formula, within each subinterval, Vcapn(t) each monotonically increases as time t increases, and reaches a maximum at the end of time.
according to the linear superposition principle, when the input current of the capacitance model is I (t), the voltage noise expression of the decoupling capacitance model is as follows:

According to the fact that the plate-level step current I (t) is formed by a series of triangular pulse currents hn(t) in the synthesis, theoretically, the influence of all triangular pulse currents on power supply noise needs to be considered, but actually, when the rising time of the triangular pulse currents is larger than a certain threshold, even if no decoupling capacitor is added, the voltage stabilizer can ensure that the voltage noise of the board-level power supply distribution network meets the requirement.
For a voltage regulator model, the inductance is the main cause of voltage fluctuation, so that only the time-domain transient impedance influence of the equivalent inductance is considered when calculating voltage noise of the voltage regulator.

when the input current form of the voltage stabilizer model is hn(t) voltage noise V of the equivalent inductance of the regulator model at the time of the triangular pulse currentvrmLn(t) the expression is:
If the interval [0,2 ]n-1Tr]Decomposition into [0, Tr]...(2n-2Tr,2n-1Tr]Sub-interval respective investigation of voltage noise Vcapn(t), can write again
as can be seen from the above formula, within each subinterval, VvrmLn(t) does not vary with t.
according to the linear superposition principle, when the input current to the voltage regulator model is I (t), the voltage noise expression of the voltage regulator model is as follows:
VvrmL(t) also satisfies the condition that the voltage does not change with t in each subinterval, and for the convenience of research, the voltage noise V of the equivalent inductance of the voltage stabilizer model is considered to be maximum at the time end point of each subinterval and is converted into the voltage noise V of the equivalent inductance of the voltage stabilizer modelvrmL(t) maximum value V in each subintervalvrmL(Tr)...VvrmL(2n-1Tr) The maximum time domain transient noise of the voltage stabilizer model corresponding to each subinterval is defined.
