Decoupling capacitors play a critical role in electronic circuits, not just in preventing voltage drops and pulse peaks, but also in reducing costs, required space, and idle state power consumption. This article delves into the advantages of using tantalum polymer capacitors in decoupling applications.

Capacitors are fundamental components in both analog and digital electronic circuits. These passive components play an important role in influencing the operational behavior of circuits. The characteristics of a capacitor vary mainly depending on the dielectric material used. The dielectric material determines the capacitance value, energy efficiency, and size of a capacitor. Fixed value capacitors can be broadly categorized into two: polar and non-polar capacitors. Non-polar capacitors include ceramic, film, and paper capacitors.

Learn how to optimize decoupling capacitors for the best cost vs. performance using flat target impedance design methods.

Impedance peaks caused by parallel L-C resonances in the power distribution network (PDN) are potential sources of power rail ripple and increased EMI. Bulk capacitors must be selected to ensure power supply stability while high-frequency decoupling must ensure...

Learn how to reduce second harmonic distortion by following some guidelines for placing decoupling capacitors in your PCB layout in article from Steve Araras published by All About Circuits. In this article, we’ll see that, without proper decoupling, we cannot extract the maximum linearity performance from a high-speed op-amp. In addition, we’ll discuss that simply rearranging a decoupling capacitor can affect the distortion performance of a high-speed amplification stage.
