What capacitance do you get when you buy a multilayer ceramic capacitor? It might sound like an odd question but the actual answer is down to dielectric type, design and operational conditions which ...

This rule of thumb estimates the capacitance per length of all 50 Ohm lines in FR4. Remember: before you start using rules of thumb, be sure to read the Rule of Thumb #0: Use rules of thumb wisely. At ...

There are many parameters to consider when designing a circuit using an operational amplifier (op amp) including the op-amp’s gain bandwidth (GBW) product, offset voltage and quiescent current. In ...

As the technology node decreases, meeting inter-wire or coupling capacitance becomes extremely critical and challenging in SOC design. Shrinking technology node leads to increase in dielectric values, ...

Ferroelectrics are getting a serious re-examination, as chipmakers look for new options to maintain drive current. Ferroelectric materials can provide non-volatile memory, serving an important ...
