Reduction In SMT Caps Needed On PCB
Closely Spaced Planes Have Lower Inherent Inductance
Therefore Supply Current On A Very Short Time Scale Thus
Damping Fluctuations Of Voltage At Device Input
Low Inductance Planes Reduces EMI
Initial Data Indicates That Surface Mounted Capacitance
Can Be Effectively Replaced By Embedded Capacitance
With Only A Small Fraction Of The Total Discrete
Capacitance
