How do I use the Altera PDN Tool to evaluate decoupling requirements for a MAX 10 device?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

To evaluate decoupling requirements for a MAX® 10 device you can use the device agnostic version of the Altera® Power Delivery Network (PDN) Tool.

To calculate the target impedance of each MAX 10 device supply, you should use the following transient current and voltage ripple percentages:

MAX 10 Supply Rail Transient Current Voltage Ripple
VCC50%5%
VCCIO100%5%
VCCA10%5%
VCCD_PLL10%3%
VCCA_ADC50%2%
VCCINT50%3%

Setting Ftarget to 70MHz or higher should result in a robust PDN.
