Figure 1. Power Sequencing Example<br />

Each V DD pin of the <strong>MPC8309</strong> must be provided with a low-impedance path to the board power supply.<br />

Similarly, each ground pin must be provided with a low-impedance path to ground. The power supply pins<br />

drive distinct groups of logic on-chip. The capacitor leads and associated printed-circuit traces connecting<br />

to chip V DD and ground must be kept to less than half an inch per capacitor lead.<br />

Due to large address and data buses and high operating frequencies, the <strong>MPC8309</strong> can generate transient<br />

power surges and high-frequency noise in its power supply, especially while driving large capacitive loads.<br />

This noise must be prevented from reaching other components in the system, and it requires a clean, tightly<br />

regulated source of power. There<strong>for</strong>e, the system designer should place at least one decoupling capacitor<br />

at each V DD , GV DD and OV DD pin. These decoupling capacitors should receive their power from separate<br />

V DD , GV DD , OV DD , and GND power planes in the PCB, using short traces to minimize inductance.<br />

Capacitors can be placed directly under the device using a standard escape pattern. Other capacitors can<br />

surround the part. These capacitors should have a value of 0.01 or 0.1 �F. Only ceramic surface mount<br />

technology (SMT) capacitors must be used to minimize lead inductance.<br />

Additionally, several bulk storage capacitors must be distributed around the PCB, feeding the V DD , GV DD ,<br />

and OV DD planes, to enable quick recharging of the smaller chip capacitors. These bulk capacitors should<br />

have a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) rating to ensure quick response time. They should also<br />

connect to the power and ground planes through two vias to minimize inductance. Suggested bulk<br />

capacitors: 100–300 �F. Use simulation to minimize noise on the power supplies be<strong>for</strong>e proceeding into<br />

the PCB design and manufacturing stage of development.<br />
