At low frequency, a transmission line, open at one end, looks like a capacitor. After all, it is just two conductors, the signal path and the return path, with some insulation between them. This is ...

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, ...

When using accelerometers with long cables, you must be careful that the cables do not attenuate the signals at high frequencies. Engineers at PCB Piezotronics point out that such attenuation may ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...
