If you’ve been building circuits for any length of time, you probably know you need decoupling capacitors to keep your circuits stable. But even though it’s a favorite technique of ours, just ...

Decoupling capacitors have long been an important aspect of maintaining a clean power source for integrated circuits, but with noise caused by rising clock frequencies, multiple power domains, and ...

Portland, Ore. — AVX Corp. has made what it claims is a revolutionary step backward with its invention of a patented new land-grid array (LGA) architecture for decoupling capacitors. Decoupling ...

Potential sources of RF coupling. How to cut some of the coupling sources. Best practice design to create a system that’s immune to coupling. Wireless system-on ...

The ubiquitous power-rail decoupling capacitor, located as close to its load as possible, has a thankless role and often gets little respect, as compared to the functions of high-performance analog ...

As we have seen in part I and part II of this series [1], there are no inherent wear-out mechanisms in ceramic capacitors. And yes, as covered in part II, the high dielectric Class 2 capacitors (X7R) ...
