This video explains how the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) interacts with the printed circuit board planes and decoupling capacitors within the Power Distribution Network (PDN). A well-designed PDN provides optimal system performance, while a poorly designed PDN may result in degraded system performance. In extreme cases, rogue waves may appear within the PDN, producing higher than expected voltage noise levels that may interfere with system performance or cause permanent damage. Recommendations for keeping the impedance flat are also provided.
