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 ...

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 ...

旁路电容(Bypass Capacitor)和去耦电容(Decoupling Capacitor)这两个概念在电路中是常见的，但是真正理解起来并不容易。 要理解这两个词汇，还得回到英文语境中去。 Bypass在英语中有抄小路的意思，在电路中也是这个意思，如下图所示。 couple在英语中是一对的意思 ...

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 ...

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.

Deep-submicron systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) require a power-grid voltage drop of much less than 10% of VDD. Decoupling capacitors, or decaps, help achieve this goal by minimizing switching noise.

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