For example, those 100 nF capacitors really ought to be placed within 10 mm of your chip if it’s operating at 100 MHz, but you can get away with even 10 cm if no signals go much above 1 MHz.

Figure 14. Example capacitor pads and via placements. Loop compensator capacitor description The description of the capacitors in the Loop Compensator tool is shown in Figure 15. Here, we can fill in ...

Good decoupling is nearly always essential in a world of mixed-signal designs that exhibit increasing speed, performance, and component density. There are cases, though, where ...

This is the problem that decoupling capacitors are supposed to solve. Effectively, the decoupling capacitor provides a low-impedance path at high frequencies and a high-impedance path at low ...

Empower Semiconductor's Capacitor Targets Power Integrity The EC1005P is a single 16.6-μF capacitance device suitable for the most demanding power-integrity targets as often found in high ...

Applications include ASICs, MPUs and high-frequency decoupling. Optimized for performance at an ambient range of -55 degrees C to 125 degrees C, LICA arrays come in single-, double- and quad-capacitor ...

One example is when there is not enough space for a large decoupling capacitor. In such cases, vias are used to connect the capacitor. Unfortunately, they have a few nanohenries of parasitic ...

Abstract: This paper examines conducted electromagnetic emission of an integrated circuit, combined with a step by step guide for the optimal selection of decoupling capacitors to reduce the emission ...
