According to precedence, MOSFET datasheets show output capacitance at a single measured voltage. While these values were good enough for relative comparison between products in the past, it is ...

The most common approach to PI management, particularly for droops and other dynamic supply differential variations, is the addition of on-chip decoupling capacitance. Capacitance, local to a load ...

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, ...

Power MOSFET capacitance isn't a fixed value—it's a highly non-linear function of voltage that standard LCR meters struggle to capture accurately at operating biases. By combining the waveform ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

Although SPICE can be a powerful tool, there are pitfalls in relying solely on simulation. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it's imperative that a SPICE simulation be anchored to a detailed ...
