A basic requirement for all electronic circuits is the inclusion of bypass, or decoupling, capacitors. These devices reside across the positive supply to ground, as close as possible to the supply pin ...

In today's world of increasing electrical noise, higher-speed logic, and more-sensitive circuits, the need for high-frequency noise filtering is especially critical. Noise can enter a circuit through ...

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 ...
