Impact of Decoupling Capacitors and Embedded Capacitance on Impedance of Power and Ground Planes: Part I

We investigate two four-layer PCBs with power and ground plane pairs spaced 3 mils and 30 mils apart.

Impact of a Decoupling Capacitor in a CMOS Inverter Circuit

This article discusses CMOS inverter switching and shows the impact of a decoupling capacitor on the power rail signal integrity and radiated emissions.

Using Machine Learning to Analyze Key Capacitor Materials

Scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology have figured out a way to use machine learning to build better, more powerful capacitors.

Impact of a Trace Length on Capacitor Frequency Response

In this article we investigate the frequency behavior of a ceramic capacitor.

Using Capacitors in Parallel: Dangerous?

For many applications, especially in digital designs, you can see decoupling networks composed of several different (big and small) capacitors in parallel. But, sometimes this technique can be dangerous.
