[Bertho] really enjoyed pawing through the pile of projects submitted to the 7400 logic contest. But one thing kept hitting him with the vast majority of the entries: decoupling capacitors were ...

This is the last of the “Yet more…” series. One final plot twist, a moderately satisfying ending, and my work here will be done. Until the sequel, that is… Let the op-amp do the pinging! Instead of ...

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 ...

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 ...

This white paper discusses a method for driving high-frequency sinusoidal ripple over capacitive loads for power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) testing, an important performance parameter for many ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Transistors and ICs are considered active components because they change signals using energy from the power supply. Capacitors, ...
