Stabilization Capacitors; Power Supply Consolidation - Xilinx Zynq-7000 Design Manual

Another delay of the same duration occurs when the compensation current from the
capacitor flows to the AP SoC. For any transient current demand in the AP SoC, a round-trip
delay occurs before any relief is seen at the AP SoC.
• Negligible energy is transferred to the AP SoC with placement distances greater than
one quarter of a demand frequency's wavelength.
• Energy transferred to the AP SoC increases from 0% at one-quarter of a wavelength to
100% at zero distance.
• Energy is transferred efficiently from the capacitor to the AP SoC when capacitor
placement is at a fraction of a quarter wavelength of the AP SoC power pins. This
fraction should be small because the capacitor is also effective at some frequencies
(shorter wavelengths) above its resonant frequency.
One-tenth of a quarter wavelength is a good target for most practical applications and
leads to placing a capacitor within one-fortieth of a wavelength of the power pins it is
decoupling. The wavelength corresponds to the capacitor's mounted resonant frequency,
F .
RIS
When using large numbers of external termination resistors or passive power filtering for
transceivers, priority should be given to these over the decoupling capacitors. Moving away
from the device in concentric rings, the termination resistors and transceiver supply
filtering should be closest to the device, followed by the smallest-value decoupling
capacitors, then the larger-value decoupling capacitors.

REF
In V supply stabilization, one capacitor per pin is placed as close as possible to the V
REF
pin. The capacitors used are in the 0.01 µF – 0.47 µF range. The V
function is to reduce the V
Since no low-frequency energy is needed, larger capacitors are not necessary.
