10.1.1 PCB Layout Guidelines for Internal DLPC4420 Power

The following guidelines to achieve desired controller performance relative to internal PLLs are recommended:

• The DLPC4420 controller contains four PLLs (PLLM1, PLLM2, PLLD and PLLS), each of which have a

dedicated 1.1V digital supply, and three (PLLM1, PLLM2 and PLLD) which have a dedicated 1.8-V analog

supply. It is important to have filtering on the supply pins that covers a broad frequency range. Each 1.1V

PLL supply pin must have individual high frequency filtering in the form of a ferrite bead and a 0.1µF ceramic

capacitor. These components must be located very close to the individual PLL supply balls. The impedance

of the ferrite bead must be greater than that of the capacitor at frequencies above 10MHz. The 1.1V to

the PLL supply pins must also have low frequency filtering in the form of an RC filter. This filter can be

common to all the PLLs. The voltage drop across the resistor is limited by the 1.1V regulator tolerance and

the DLPC4420 device voltage tolerance. A resistance of 0.36 Ω and a 100 µF ceramic are recommended.

• The analog 1.8V PLL power pins must have a similar filter topology as the 1.1V. In addition, it is

recommended that the 1.8V be generated with a dedicated linear regulator.

• When designing the overall supply filter network, care must be taken to ensure no resonance occurs.

Particular care must be taken around the 1 to 2MHz band, as this coincides with the PLL natural loop

frequency.
