CCA[3:0]
Decoupling Guidelines
Description Cap (µF) Notes
Mid-Frequency Decoupling 4 x 10 µF (Polymer Covered Tantalum – POSCAP, Neocap, KO Cap)
High-Frequency Decoupling 4 x 10 nF
(0603 MLCC, >= X7R)
Place next to the Intel Pentium M/Celeron M processor CPU.
NOTES:
1. VCCA[3:0] should be tied to Vcc1_8S.
2. One 10 µF and one 10 nF capacitor pair should be used for each VCCA pin.
