Every project will need a few decoupling capacitors; our mini web server project has three ICs that require a total of 11. This can be an expensive part to buy in singles, so it’s crucial to ...

In high-speed op-amp circuits, a parallel combination of two chip capacitors is recommended (Fig. 2a). A 1-µF tantalum and a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor are typical.

As engineers, many of us probably learned bypassing/decoupling by observing what others have done; that is, just put a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor on each IC power connection and be done with it.

The EC1005P features close-to-ideal parasitic parameters, allowing SoCs to operate with reduced voltage margining, reducing system power. The EC1005P ECAP leverages Empower’s high-performance and high ...
