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? These are the ...

Embedded silicon capacitors, or ECAPs, aim to solve issues of power integrity from inside the processor’s package.

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 ...

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 ...
