Abstract
Techniques and systems for enhanced adjustment of quantities and placement of decoupling capacitance on circuit boards for integrated circuits is provided herein. An example method includes iterating application of a load profile across different populations of decoupling capacitors on a circuit board for supply voltage domains of an integrated circuit device until a target transient performance is reached for the supply voltage domains. The load profile is applied onto electrical connections corresponding to the supply voltage domains for the integrated circuit device. The method also includes generating a capacitor population configuration for the circuit board based on a population of the decoupling capacitors that achieves the target transient performance.
