Vbounce = Leff × (N × Iout) / tr. Lower inductance or slower edges reduce bounce.

Package Inductance

QFP/TQFP5-8 nH
BGA1-3 nH
QFN0.5-2 nH
Flip-Chip0.1-0.5 nH

Mitigation Strategies

  • • Use more ground pins
  • • Slow down edge rates
  • • Stagger switching times
  • • Use low-inductance packages
  • • Add decoupling capacitors
  • • Separate quiet/noisy grounds
