Editor’s note: The following is Part one of a technical white paper by Ericsson with some very educational and practical design information. The paper discusses the Loop Compensator and Capacitor ...

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 ...

Teseq has introduced a 100A, three-phase burst pulse coupling/decoupling network (CDN) tester designed for electrical fast transient (EFT) or burst testing. The manual CDN 3083-B100 is intended for ...

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 ...

Teseq's CDN HSS-2 is compact, relatively lightweight and easy-to-use. It features selectable common mode coupling to 1, 2 or 4 pairs depending on the jumper settings on the CDN, and is coupled with 40 ...

Figure 1 shows a switching regulator that can generate a lower voltage from a high voltage. In this type of circuit, the bypass capacitor (CBYP) is especially important. It has to support the switched ...

Low ESR, low-noise PPC series film capacitors are now available in an ultra-mini, 0603-size mold-less package. The mini capacitors, described as the smallest of their kind, target coupling, decoupling ...

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.
