Decoupling capacitors provide local reservoirs of charge, but mounting inductances and proximity limit their Above ~1 MHz (AC), power plane and component pin inductances come into play, limiting how much current can be delivered at these frequencies. Cutouts and voids in power planes increase this effect. At low (DC) frequencies, resistive losses affect how much current can be supplied to components without excessive drop in supply voltage. Poorly designed PDNs can create current and thermal stresses that exceed physical material limits, causing the PCB or ICs to burn out prematurely.

Provide controlled return paths for high-speed signals When a PDN fails to meet these goals, the design can fail to operate at intended performance levels, or even worse, fail intermittently and unpredictably.Supply stable power to components from DC to ~150 MHz.
