All,
A fellow co-worker mentioned: with buried capacitance the location of bypass
capacitors (for that buried capacitance plane) does not matter (i.e. an IC's
bypass cap. could be 6 inches away). Is this true?
My Thoughts:
At relatively low frequencies (say 5MHz) you cannot consider buried
capacitance an AC short which would be required in allowing you to deem its
impedence negligable. With a non-negligable BC impedence bypass caps cannot
be as effective, say 6 inches away, from the IC. I forsee the potential of
a low frequecy noise being injected on a power supply in such a bypassing
configuration. Am I mistaken?
Franz.
