7.7.2.2.2.7 High-Speed (HS) Bypass Capacitors
HS bypass capacitors are critical for proper DDR2 interface operation. It is particularly important to
minimize the parasitic series inductance of the HS bypass capacitors, AM335x device DDR2 power, and
AM335x device DDR2 ground connections.
contains the specification for the HS bypass
capacitors as well as for the power connections on the PCB.

(2) An additional HS bypass capacitor can share the connection vias only if it is mounted on the opposite side of the board.
(3) These devices should be placed as close as possible to the device being bypassed.
