The clock frequencies and harmonic frequencies should be placed away from the RF carrier frequencies. Low PDN impedance should be maintained. PDN resonance frequencies should be placed away not only from the clock frequencies, and their harmonic frequencies, but also from RF carrier frequencies. q Via and wire are a major noise coupling path from digital PDN to noise sensitive circuits. Noise coupling reduction methods including using PDN design design, frequency control, filtering, separation/isolation, decoupling, shielding, and grounding techniques. Case studies: LNA, Clock distribution network Chip-package co-design can provide optimal and cost-effective solutions solutions.
