Most ICs need to be decoupled from their power supply, usually with a 0.1uF capacitor between each power pin and ground. Decoupling is usually used to remove noise and to smooth power fluctuations.

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 ...

Noise management, induced by digital circuits on a p. c. board assembly, deserves the attention of power supply designers and those mastering digital, analog, and mixed-mode application problems ...

The SG-BGA-7199 socket isdesigned for 13.5 x 8 x 1.2mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 10GHz with less than 1dB of insertion loss. The contact resistance is typically20 milliohms per I/O ...

Mobile SoCs are progressing to finer process nodes to pack more computing power in a smaller space while slashing power consumption. These high-performance chips operate with lower supply voltages ...

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 ...
