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 ...

Figure 1 shows a switching regulator that can generate a lower voltage from a high voltage. In this type of circuit, the bypass capacitor (CBYP) is especially important. It has to support the switched ...

Teseq's CDN HSS-2 is compact, relatively lightweight and easy-to-use. It features selectable common mode coupling to 1, 2 or 4 pairs depending on the jumper settings on the CDN, and is coupled with 40 ...

When designing the power systems for 5G applications, designers must consider the wide range of frequencies intrinsic to such applications, from mid-range frequencies in the voltage regulators to high ...

It is crucial to understand the impact of decoupling, in term of power distribution network (PDN) impedance on simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). A PCB with ...

Low ESR, low-noise PPC series film capacitors are now available in an ultra-mini, 0603-size mold-less package. The mini capacitors, described as the smallest of their kind, target coupling, decoupling ...

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 ...
