NOTE: Minimum damping resistance is calculated from 0.35 Ω – DCRmin. From vendor provided data, L1 and
L2 DCRmin is 0.4 Ω and 0.5 Ω respectively, qualifying them for zero required trace resistance. DCRmin
for L3 is not known and is assumed to be 0.15 Ω. Products with equivalent specifications may also be
used.

To satisfy damping requirements, total series resistance in the filter (from VCCT to the top plate of
the capacitor) must be at least 0.35 Ω. This resistor may be in the form of a discrete component, or
routing, or both. For example, if the picked inductor has minimum DCR of 0.25 Ω, then a routing
resistance of at least 0.10 Ω is required. Be careful not to exceed the maximum resistance rule
(2 Ω). For example, if using discrete R1, the maximum DCR of the L should be less than
2.0 - 1.1 = 0.9 Ω, which precludes using L2 and possibly L1.
Other routing requirements include:
• The capacitor should be close to the PLL1 and PLL2 pins, with less than 0.1 Ω per route
(These routes do not count towards the minimum damping resistance requirement).
• The PLL2 route should be parallel and next to the PLL1 route (minimize loop area).
• The inductor should be close to the capacitor; any routing resistance should be inserted
between VCCT and the inductor.
• Any discrete resistor should be inserted between VCCT and the inductor.

Comments
• A magnetically shielded inductor protects the circuit from picking up external flux noise. This
should provide better timing margins than with an unshielded inductor.
• A discrete or routed resistor is required because the LC filter by nature has an under-damped
response, which may cause resonance at the LC pole. Noise amplification at this band,
although not in the PLL-sensitive spectrum, could cause a fatal headroom reduction for analog
circuitry. The resistor serves to dampen the response. Systems with tight space constraints
