Decoupling Requirements
Decouple the DIMM connectors as shown in
. Place six ceramic 0.1 µF (0603)
capacitors between adjacent DIMM connectors. Place ten Tantalum 100 µF capacitors per channel
around the DIMM connectors, keeping them within 0.5" of the edge of the DIMM connectors.
Again, be sure to implement two vias per capacitor (ceramic and tantalum) to the internal ground
plane.
