Two of the most recent trends in high performance DPA (Distributed Power Architecture) systems are the need for extremely fast transient response and the usage of IBA (Intermediate Bus Architecture).

The rule of thumb to use a 0.1-µF capacitor on the power pin of a semiconductor device is rapidly fading away. Semiconductor products of today have multiple power pins and voltages. But, it is more ...

Noise management, induced by digital circuits on a p. c. board assembly, deserves the attention of power supply designers and those mastering digital, analog, and mixed-mode application problems ...

A thin-film termination technology developed by AVX (www.avx.com) makes it possible to dramatically reduce the internal inductance of decoupling capacitors. Decoupling capacitors produced with this ...
