If you’ve been building circuits for any length of time, you probably know you need decoupling capacitors to keep your circuits stable. But even though it’s a favorite technique of ours, just ...

Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

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 ...

High-current, point-of-load (POL) buck converters leverage metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) to provide the pulse-width-modulation (PWM) pulse train to the output filter.

It is crucial to understand the impact of decoupling, in term of power distribution network (PDN) impedance on simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). A PCB with ...
