The rule of thumb to use a 0.1-µF capacitor on the power pin of a semiconductor device is rapidly fading away. Semiconductor products of today have multiple power pins and voltages. But, it is more ...

Portland, Ore. — AVX Corp. has made what it claims is a revolutionary step backward with its invention of a patented new land-grid array (LGA) architecture for decoupling capacitors. Decoupling ...

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 ...

The CC-100 IP is a Hyper-decoupling capacitor with a Capacitance Multiplication, Series Inductance Nullification, Cybersecurity Enhancement and an Ene ...

A thin-film termination technology developed by AVX makes it possible to dramatically reduce the internal inductance of decoupling capacitors. A thin-film termination technology developed by AVX ...

AVX has expanded the applications of its LICA series of low inductance decoupling capacitor arrays. Widely utilised in commercial and industrial five nines uptime applications, such as mainframe class ...

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 ...

Land Grid Array (LGA) capacitors from AVX have achieved the equivalent high frequency performance of complex 8-terminal Inter-Digitated Capacitors (IDC) in a two terminal device, said the supplier.

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

Texas Instruments has developed a complete power stage comprising a driver and two GaN FETs into a half-bridge configuration. The power stage is housed in a QFN package and is optimized 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 ...
