Are More PCB Decoupling Capacitors Always Better?

If you have ever designed a PCB schematic, you have probably placed a familiar trio of capacitors near a chip’s power pins: 0.1 µF, 1 µF, and 10 µF.It seems like a safe bet. Different capacitance valu...

0402 vs 0603 Capacitor for High-Speed PCB Decoupling

A common misconception is that a larger capacitor package stores more energy and therefore provides better filtering performance. However, in high-speed PCB designs such as FPGA, SoC, and DDR applicat...
