The purpose of a power distribution network (PDN) is to provide clean and reliable power to active devices in the system. The printed circuit board (PCB) is a critical component of the system-level PDN. Therefore, the PCB design is of utmost importance for high-performance low-power microprocessors. This application report provides design requirements and details a step-by-step methodology on how to design the VDD_MPU_IVA PDN on the PCB to comply with the requirements of the TI OMAP3630,AM37xx, and DM37xx microprocessors.
