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… ...

C1 through-hole 0.1uF capacitor, such as Mouser # 594-K104M15X7RF53L2, ($4 per 100 ) – This cheap 0.1uF capacitor will fit almost any design that calls for through-hole decoupling capacitors.

For example, if an ADC consumes 2W from a 3.3V rail with a specified ripple of 5%, and a regulator cannot respond to a voltage change in less than 10 µs, then we need to provide 37 µF of decoupling.

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 ...

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 ...

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

Capacitors operate up to 125°C without degradation due to the soldering process. Performance includes a 200-V dc working voltage, a 217-V/µs DV/DT, 1736-A peak current, and capacitance values up ...
