You are designing your latest sub-system and somebody tells you to place as many 100 nF decoupling capacitors as you can, as close as physically possible to all the integrated circuits, just like we ...

As Moore's Law has marched through the 1990s into the new millennium, each process node has brought a doubling of density with increased clock and data-transfer speeds and frequencies. Each node, ...

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.

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 ...

Designed for use in general decoupling and filtering applications, the X5R series of class II dielectric ceramic capacitors has a temperature variation of capacitance within ±15% from -55ºC to +85ºC.

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 ...
