The ubiquitous power-rail decoupling capacitor, located as close to its load as possible, has a thankless role and often gets little respect, as compared to the functions of high-performance analog ...

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 ...

Choosing decoupling-capacitor values can seem to be a “no-brainer.” Unfortunately, even though the consequences of selecting the wrong values are often serious, the most commonly used methods usually ...
