There are several technical features required of capacitors used in professional audio and music applications. High-fidelity and noiseless audio-filtering features are necessary without any compromise ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

AVX Corporation has introduced the sub-millimeter 0201 TACmicrochip® tantalum capacitor. Measuring only 0.6mm x 0.35mm x 0.35 mm, the 0201 E case TACmicrochip Series SMD tantalum capacitors deliver ...

Power system designers are constantly under pressure to attain larger power densities and improved conversion efficiencies, whether it is for data servers for the internet of things or data centers.

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 ...
