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 ...

Portland, Ore. — AVX Corp. has made what it claims is a revolutionary step backward with its invention of a patented new land-grid array (LGA) architecture for decoupling capacitors. Decoupling ...

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 ...

The 100% encapsulated SE4 metallized surface-mount power-supply decoupling capacitor series offers superior performance to unencapsulated polyphenylene-sulphide (PPS), polyester, and ceramic ...

The inability to supply adequate power in time can result in intermittent board failure and hours troubleshooting in the lab. Even an IC with ample current supply can experience “power shortage” if ...

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 ...
