With the development of ultra-large-scale integrated circuit technology, the channel size of the chip is inevitably further scaled down, the power supply voltage of the integrated circuit is continuously reduced, the ripple noise threshold and design margin of the chip are reduced, and the higher signal rate makes the power supply noise more sensitive to parasitic parameters such as package, printed circuit board (PCB, printed Circuit Board) routing, via hole and the like. Therefore, how to ensure that chips operate properly under different process, voltage, and temperature conditions, and under various traffic patterns, is a great challenge for power integrity design. The power integrity design needs to meet three targets, namely a chip level, and provides a clean and stable power supply for a chip; a single board layer provides a low-impedance and low-noise reference loop for signals, ensures impedance continuity and reduces crosstalk; at the system level, electromagnetic interference emissions are avoided, and power supply noise is used as an important component of electromagnetic interference (EMI, electromagnetic Interference) to analyze and suppress the electromagnetic interference.
The Power Distribution Network (PDN) is composed of a power ground wire, a plane and a decoupling capacitor, and the impedance of the power distribution network is not zero due to parasitic parameters such as parasitic resistance, inductance and capacitance, the resonance characteristic of the decoupling capacitor is needed to be utilized, the lowest input impedance is obtained through the parallel combination of capacitors with different capacitance values, the input impedance is lower than the target impedance, and the load chip is ensured to have stable and continuous power supply.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a decoupling capacitor optimization method, as shown in fig. 1, where the method includes:
step 101, determining a first capacitor corresponding to a maximum loop inductance in a first path of power supply in the PCB.
The PCB comprises at least one power supply, and the first power supply is any power supply in the at least one power supply.
The main execution body of the decoupling capacitor optimization method provided by the embodiment of the invention is a decoupling capacitor optimization device, namely the decoupling capacitor optimization device determines a first capacitor corresponding to the maximum loop inductance in a first path of power supply in a Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
The PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Chinese name printed circuit board, also called printed circuit board, is an important electronic component, is a support for electronic components, and is a carrier for electrical connection of electronic components. It is called a "printed" circuit board because it is made using electronic printing.
Further, before determining the first capacitor corresponding to the maximum loop inductance in the first path of power supply in the printed circuit board PCB, the method may further include:
and obtaining the target impedance of each power supply in the power supply distribution network of the PCB.
Where a Power Distribution Network (PDN) refers to a path or interconnect from a power supply (VRM) to an active device (IC), its impedance includes the active internal resistance itself, the PCB routing, decoupling capacitance, and impedance on the IC package.
As shown in fig. 2, the right diagram in fig. 2 is a simplified equivalent circuit diagram of the left diagram, AB is an impedance observation point, that is, a power supply and a ground point on the target IC, a network between the two points AB is equivalent to a current source, Z is an output impedance thereof, and the magnitude of Z determines the magnitude of power supply noise of the chip. For a stable power supply system, no matter how the load transient current between the two points AB changes, the voltage change range between the two points AB needs to be ensured to be small, so that the impedance Z of the power supply system needs to be low enough, the impedance design of PDN needs the resonance characteristic of decoupling capacitors, and the lowest input impedance is obtained through the parallel combination of the capacitors.
From fig. 2, it can be derived that: Δv (ω) =z (ω) ×Δi (ω)
Where DeltaV (ω) is voltage, Z is impedance, deltaI is current.
Equivalent z=esr+j2pi×esl+1/(j2pi f×c)
Wherein ESR is equivalent resistance, ESL is equivalent inductance, and C is capacitance value.
For a PCB of an actual project, a target impedance formula is difficult to be cited in practice, because the current and the frequency range on the PCB are difficult to be determined, and there is no clear correspondence with the frequency, in the actual project, a chip manufacturer generally clearly gives a target impedance value of the PCB level of the IC chip, where the calculation formula of the target impedance is as follows:
in the actual optimization process, the PCB after the optimization design needs to be ensured to be in the range of target impedance through simulation.
The capacitor is the most important power supply impedance control optimizing device, the decoupling capacitor is welded on the PCB, and besides the equivalent resistance ESR and equivalent inductance ESL of the capacitor, additional parasitic parameters are introduced due to wiring, via holes, bonding pads, welding and the like, and influence the resonance frequency of the capacitor together with the parasitic parameters of the capacitor, so that the action range of the capacitor is influenced.
As shown in fig. 3, the right diagram in fig. 3 is a simplified equivalent circuit diagram of the left diagram, and the parasitic inductance is the foremost of the additional parasitic parameters introduced, and can be equivalently the effective loop inductance in the diagram. The effective loop inductance Lpcb1 weakens the decoupling effect of Cde-cap on both Pwr and Gnd, while the effective loop inductance (Lpcb+Lpcb 1) weakens the decoupling effect of Cbulk on both Pwr and Gnd. It is clear from this that the magnitude of the loop inductance directly influences the decoupling effect of the capacitor.
The core of the invention is to control the loop inductance of the decoupling capacitor, determine the loop inductance of the decoupling capacitor through simulation, determine the capacitor with larger loop inductance, remove the coupling capacitor with larger loop inductance and farther layout position from the power PIN PIN corresponding to the MSM chip, change the capacitance value of the capacitor with inferior loop inductance, reduce the overall loop inductance on the power distribution network, and adjust the size and quantity of the capacitor on each power supply in a targeted way, so as to achieve the purposes of saving cost and reducing layout area.
And 102, calculating the first impedance of the first power supply after deleting the first capacitor according to the model of the PCB.
Specifically, a model of the PCB is determined through a simulation tool, an impedance magnitude curve in a preset frequency range is obtained according to the model of the PCB, and a first impedance of the first path of power supply after the first capacitor is deleted is determined according to the impedance magnitude curve.
And 103, when the first impedance meets a preset condition, determining that the first capacitor is a deleted capacitor in the first path of power supply, so that decoupling capacitor optimization is performed on the first path of power supply by deleting the first capacitor in the first path of power supply.
Specifically, when the first impedance is smaller than the target impedance of the first path of power supply, determining that the first impedance meets a preset condition, and determining that the first capacitor is a deleted capacitor in the first path of power supply.
Optionally, before determining that the decoupling capacitance of the first path power supply is optimized by deleting the first capacitance in the first path power supply when the first impedance meets a preset condition, the method further includes:
comparing the first impedance with a target impedance of the first path of power supply;
and when the first impedance is smaller than the target impedance of the first path of power supply, determining that the first impedance meets a preset condition.
Optionally, after determining that the first capacitor is the deleted capacitor in the first path power supply when the first impedance meets a preset condition, the method further includes:
determining the deleting capacitance in each power supply in the at least one power supply, and optimizing the decoupling capacitance of the PCB by deleting the deleting capacitance in each power supply.
According to the decoupling capacitor optimization method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the coupling capacitor with relatively large loop inductance and relatively far layout position from the power supply corresponding to the chip is removed while the target impedance of the power supply distribution network PDN of the PCB is ensured, so that the overall loop inductance on the power supply distribution network is reduced, the layout space of the PCB is reduced, and the cost is saved.
The embodiment of the invention provides a decoupling capacitor optimization method, as shown in fig. 4, which comprises the following steps:
step 201, a decoupling capacitor optimizing device obtains target impedance of each power supply in a power supply distribution network of a PCB.
The Power Distribution Network (PDN) sets a target impedance of the power distribution network provided by a chip manufacturer as a reference standard through frequency domain analysis, and the target impedance design method of the Power Distribution Network (PDN) requires that the input impedance is smaller than the target impedance in a frequency range of interest from the IC perspective, that is, the power distribution network exhibits a low impedance characteristic, and reduces the input impedance of the PDN by using the characteristic that the antiresonance point impedance of the decoupling capacitor is minimum.
Specifically, the power distribution network of the PCB includes multiple power supplies, and the target impedance of each power supply in the Power Distribution Network (PDN) is determined according to the data provided by the main chip manufacturer of the PCB, which is used as a reference standard for comparison.
Step 202, a decoupling capacitor optimizing device acquires the PCB, the PCB is led into a simulation tool, and loop inductance of coupling capacitors of at least one power supply in the PCB is determined through the simulation tool.
Step 203, the decoupling capacitor optimizing device determines a first capacitor corresponding to the maximum loop inductance in the first path of power supply in the PCB.
The PCB comprises at least one power supply, and the first power supply is any power supply in the at least one power supply.
Specifically, after the PCB is designed, a simulation tool is introduced, a stack layer of the PCB and a capacitance model are set according to design requirements, loop inductance of coupling capacitance of each path of power supply is calculated, data shown in table 1 below can be clearly and intuitively checked through the simulation tool, as shown in fig. 5, the magnitude of each coupling capacitance on the power supply is shown on a bar column, distribution of coupling capacitance with large loop inductance on the PCB can be seen according to simulation of the simulation tool, placement position and distance of the loop inductance and a load are seen, and in combination of the two parts, the smaller the decoupling capacitance value is, the smaller the loop inductance is required to be placed, the higher the frequency of action is, the larger the capacitance value is, the larger the loop inductance is placed at a place with a larger distance from the load, the lower the frequency of action is, the coupling capacitance with a large loop inductance and a distance from the load is deleted, and meanwhile, the capacitance value of the coupling capacitance with a small loop inductance is modified.
