Noise management, induced by digital circuits on a p. c. board assembly, deserves the attention of power supply designers and those mastering digital, analog, and mixed-mode application problems ...

Choosing decoupling-capacitor values can seem to be a “no-brainer.” Unfortunately, even though the consequences of selecting the wrong values are often serious, the most commonly used methods usually ...

This is the last of the “Yet more…” series. One final plot twist, a moderately satisfying ending, and my work here will be done. Until the sequel, that is… Let the op-amp do the pinging! Instead of ...

Everyone knows that the perfect capacitor to decouple the power rails around ICs is a 100 nF ceramic capacitor or equivalent, yet where does this ‘fact’ come from and is it even correct? These are the ...

CMOS technology has evolved as the top choice for chip manufacturers. There are multiple reasons for its emergence to its current status, continuous reduction in feature size being one of them. SoC ...

Land Grid Array (LGA) capacitors from AVX have achieved the equivalent high frequency performance of complex 8-terminal Inter-Digitated Capacitors (IDC) in a two terminal device, said the supplier.
