One of the longest running problems in PCB (printed-circuit-board) design has been trying to figure how much decoupling capacitors you need for your design. PCB engineers often use too much decoupling ...

[James] designed a set of circuit boards that enabled him to place different types of capacitors at various distances along a set of PCB traces.

We read several application notes about MLC capacitors and learned that because of their brittle nature, multilayer ceramic capacitors are more susceptible to excesses of mechanical stress than other ...
