You are designing your latest sub-system and somebody tells you to place as many 100 nF decoupling capacitors as you can, as close as physically possible to all the integrated circuits, just like we ...
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 ...
With the increasing demand for high-speed circuits, PCB design is becoming significantly more challenging. Along with design of the actual logic on the PCB, engineers have to consider several other ...
