Simulation files provided includes IBIS, IBIS-AMI and BSDL

AM62x PDN Target impedance values:

Impedance target values for VDD_CORE 

Low freq (< 1MHz) : 22mOhm

Mid freq (1 < 20MHz) : 31 mOhm

High freq (20 < 50 MHz) : 40 mOhm

This is valid for either of the core voltage values. We do not provide target impedance values for other rails on AM62x.

Note: We do not include Buck output inductance in PDN simulations.
