Abstract
A system and method for automatically selecting decoupling capacitors for an electronic device. The system determines a localized drive strength for each component in the electronic device. Based on a summation of drive strengths for components in a given area of the electronic device, the system determines whether a decoupling capacitor is necessary to provide local power bus stability.
