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.
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 ...
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 ...

Editor’s note: The following is Part one of a technical white paper by Ericsson with some very educational and practical design information. The paper discusses the Loop Compensator and Capacitor ...
This white paper discusses a method for driving high-frequency sinusoidal ripple over capacitive loads for power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) testing, an important performance parameter for many ...
This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Transistors and ICs are considered active components because they change signals using energy from the power supply. Capacitors, ...
