description

This paper tries to gather the Power Distribution Network (PDN) techniques used to preserve power integrity in PCB designs when transmitting data rates over 6 Gbps using the newest commercial optical modules. The PDN design described allows for proper impedance control of the power supply with the appropriate choice of the number, location and values of capacitors. This method needs the knowledge of the electrical RLC model of the regulators, copper planes, capacitors and vias used in the PCB. A particular case of PDN design will be presented for a module using one SNAP12 optical transmitter and one receiver connected to an Altera Stratix II GX FPGA. This board is designed to work with data rates up to 75 Gbps for a high- energy physics application.
