Recently, a lot of attention has been focused on reduction of this resonance behavior, including usage of dissipative bypass capacitors and multiple sizing of capacitors on the package and board.
They start with the basics, covering the evolution of power distribution networks, then analyze simulation methods and tools, characterizing and modeling via phenomena and planes or laminates, impedance measurement, connections and calibrations, practical details of measurements, and characterization and modeling of bypass capacitors, inductors, DC to DC converters and systems.
But for routing large or fine-pitch BGAs, bypass capacitors, thermal management, and grounding on high-frequency parts, via-in-pad can be an effective, if demanding, solution.
