The rule of thumb to use a 0.1-µF capacitor on the power pin of a semiconductor device is rapidly fading away. Semiconductor products of today have multiple power pins and voltages. But, it is more ...
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 ...
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 ...
