Capacitance

This article discusses the basics of a step-down (buck) DC Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS). It should serve at an entry-level tutorial and a building step towards the more advanced designs.

This article reviews some of the ESD protection design challenges when designing in a FinFET technology and give an outlook on the successors of FinFET.

Optical communication can dramatically increase the bandwidth between servers while reducing complexity, power consumption, and cost.

The electronic industry has embraced simulation to address several complex design challenges, but reliability is still mostly dealt with best design practices and tested with prototypes. In this article, we present how modeling and simulation approaches can help designers perform virtual prototyping and uncover reliability issues especially EOS/ESD before going for physical prototypes.

Cable discharge events occur more frequently than we think, but they often go unrecognized or undiagnosed for root causes, resulting in unnecessary device failures. This article discusses the origins of three types of cable discharge events.
