Everyone knows that the perfect capacitor to decouple the power rails around ICs is a 100 nF ceramic capacitor or equivalent, ...

One of most frequently-used quantities in the analysis of harmonics on power systems is the short-circuit impedance to the point on a network at which a capacitor is located. If not directly available ...

You can work with a part for many decades, and still learn something new about it. At least we can, and we don’t mind ...

Reactance itself is composed of two parts: capacitive and inductive impedance. Capacitive impedance is due to the presence of capacitors in the circuit, while inductive impedance results from the ...

It is shown that a PCB trace can be modeled as a resonant RLC network just like the standard components, and effectively constitutes the fourth circuit component whose frequency behavior directly ...

In Figure 1, above, we include a relatively simple model of a real capacitor to illustrate its nature. It consists of four impedances, connected as shown. The impedance on the left is the ESR, the ...

A lossless network that matches an arbitrary load to real impedance has to have at least two reactive elements ... In this application note we explore the idea of designing an all-capacitor Pi ...

The introduction of longer lines together with capacitor compensation brings up several technical problems which must ... and of abnormal overvoltages which may result from interaction of line ...

A lossless network that matches an arbitrary load to real impedance has to have at least two reactive elements. However, two elements do not give control over the bandwidth and the degree of match ...
