1.1.1 Power Supply Decoupling

To reduce any potential fluctuation on the power supply lines, decoupling capacitors, bypass capacitors, and other power supply filtering techniques must be used.

  • For values ranging from 1 nF to 100 μF, use X7R or X5R (dielectric material) type capacitors.
  • For values ranging from 100 μF to 1000 μF, use tantalum capacitors.

The following table lists the recommended number of PCB decoupling capacitors for an M2S050T/M2GL050T-FG896 device.

Note:
  1. 220 μF is used to limit surge current for the VDD supply.
  2. Single ceramic decoupling capacitor is required for both the pins at the device.
  3. Single ceramic decoupling capacitor is required for four pins at the device.

The following table lists the recommended decoupling capacitors for the SmartFusion2/IGLOO2 devices. For placement and routing details, see Layout Guidelines for SmartFusion2- and IGLOO2-Based Board Design.
