AC coupling is common in amplifier circuits for practical and historical reasons. The practical reason is to remove DC power on a transmission line and into a load. The historical reason is to conform ...

There are several technical features required of capacitors used in professional audio and music applications. High-fidelity and noiseless audio-filtering features are necessary without any compromise ...

Chemical Mechanical Planarization is a process of smoothing wafer surface through exerting the chemical and mechanical polishing on wafer. It is an important step in IC fabrication process. To achieve ...

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 ...

A recent blog post discussed the use of virtual metal fill (VMF) to predict the effects of real metal fill when performing RC extraction on a chip layout. This enables static timing analysis (STA) ...
