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 ...
Most ICs need to be decoupled from their power supply, usually with a 0.1uF capacitor between each power pin and ground. Decoupling is usually used to remove noise and to smooth power fluctuations.
Previously on “Yet more…” we built up a pair of regulators with output capacitors, and connected them to some decoupling caps with a short length of copper trace. We looked at the impedance at these ...
SPICE simulations determine power supply decoupling performance. David Bourner, National Semiconductor, Columbia, Md. Noise management, induced by digital circuits on a p. c. board assembly, deserves ...
The 100% encapsulated SE4 metallized surface-mount power-supply decoupling capacitor series offers superior performance to unencapsulated polyphenylene-sulphide (PPS), polyester, and ceramic ...
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 ...
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 ...
If you’ve done any amount of electronic design work, you’ll be familiar with the need for decoupling capacitors. Sometimes a chip’s datasheet will tell you exactly what kind of caps to place where, ...
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.
