1.2.2.4. Plane_Cap

The Plane Cap tab calculates the distributed plane capacitance in microfarads (µF) that is developed between the power/ground planes based on the parallel plate capacitor equation.

Enter the design specific information such as plane dimensions, plane configuration and the dielectric material used in the Planar Capacitance table. The tool calculates a plane capacitance value. You can save custom values, restore custom values, or restore the default settings.

The Import Plane R&C button inserts the data for the planar capacitance into the regulator group data.
