Figure 1 shows a switching regulator that can generate a lower voltage from a high voltage. In this type of circuit, the bypass capacitor (CBYP) is especially important. It has to support the switched ...

Another engineer designed an op-amp circuit in non-inverting mode with a coupling capacitor wired directly to the non-inverting input. I told him the input had to have a resistive DC path to ground.

Removing the coupling capacitor not only improves audio performance and quality, but also saves board space (coupling capacitors are typically quite large, ranging from 100 to 220 μF). In addition to ...

8-Channel ReDriver with Internal Coupling Capacitors from Diodes Incorporated Enhances Signal Quality in High-Speed UPI 2.0 and PCIe 4.0 Interfaces July 27, 2021 10:14 AM Eastern Daylight Time ...

The coupling capacitor, C S, provides dc isolation between input and output. Because the load is isolated from input, the total supply shutdown current can be reduced below 10 µA by turning off ...

One example is when there is not enough space for a large decoupling capacitor. In such cases, vias are used to connect the capacitor. Unfortunately, they have a few nanohenries of parasitic ...
