Method and apparatus for mitigating resonant effects within a power delivery network of a printed circuit board

A method for reducing noise on a power distribution network of a printed circuit board, comprising:

• determining whether a given data signal may be a problematic data signal;
• issuing the given data signal onto a signal distribution network of the printed circuit board if the given data signal is determined to not be a problematic data signal;
• and
• encoding the given data signal into an encoded data signal if the given data signal is determined to be a problematic data signal, and issuing the encoded data signal onto the signal distribution network.

At least one nontransitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein that, in response to being executed on an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:

• identify a given data signal as a problematic data signal by comparing at a given frequency at least one of a phase angle and a power spectral density of the given data signal to at least one of a magnitude and a phase angle of an impedance characteristic of a circuit board power distribution network within the electronic device;
• encode the problematic data signal into an encoded data signal;
• and
• issue the encoded data signal onto a signal distribution network of an integrated circuit.
