KEY POINTS
1. One way to eliminate the need to place
capacitors on the board is to have the power
supply sit directly on top of the chip, which
allows for denser designs and reduces the
impact of system noise.
2. Simulation is essential for balancing various
aspects of power distribution, but it's generally
not possible to simulate an entire design in
one go. It's too computationally expensive, and
simulation tools run on a lot of assumptions.
