A “worst case” analysis of rail voltage decoupling for a digital circuit board was required, but the challenge was to determine what the worst case current pulse circumstances could actually be. The ...

This is the last of the “Yet more…” series. One final plot twist, a moderately satisfying ending, and my work here will be done. Until the sequel, that is… Let the op-amp do the pinging! Instead of ...

SPICE simulations determine power supply decoupling performance. David Bourner, National Semiconductor, Columbia, Md. Noise management, induced by digital circuits on a p. c. board assembly, deserves ...

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 ...
