At high frequencies, the PCI-X microprocessor chip needs 11 0.01-µF capacitors. In practice, you could further divide these capacitors into values of 0.01 µF, 1000 pF, and 110 pF, to give a number ...

In “ Know the sometimes-surprising interactions in modelling a capacitor-bypass network ” (abbreviated to “Know the…” when referred to here), Tamara Schmitz of Intersil and I provided some simulation ...

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 ...

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… ...

However, there’s another physical realization of capacitors that offers performance benefits, by using silicon and its fabrication processes. Empower Semiconductor recently introduced the ...
