In “Know the sometimes-surprising interactions in modelling a capacitor-bypass network” (abbreviated to “Know the…” when referred to here), Tamara Schmitz of Intersil and I provided some simulation ...

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 ...

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 ...

After the first four parts of “Yet more…” you are, I hope, curious about what happens when everything is connected together. We've seen that some fearsome ringing can appear on our simulated supply if ...

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 ...

This white paper discusses a method for driving high-frequency sinusoidal ripple over capacitive loads for power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) testing, an important performance parameter for many ...

The CC-100 IP is a Hyper-decoupling capacitor with a Capacitance Multiplication, Series Inductance Nullification, Cybersecurity Enhancement and an Ene ...

AVX has expanded the applications of its LICA series of low inductance decoupling capacitor arrays. Widely utilised in commercial and industrial five nines uptime applications, such as mainframe class ...
