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.
Figure 1–4 shows the Plane Cap tab.
You enter the design specific information, such as plane dimensions, plane
configuration, and dielectric material used. The tool calculates a plane capacitance
value. You can save custom values, restore custom values, and restore the default
settings.
