One of the most critical components in a step-up design is the transformer. Transformers have parasitic components that can cause them to deviate from their ideal characteristics, and the parasitic ...

Magnetic components, particularly transformers operating at high frequencies and voltages, are intrinsically influenced by parasitic capacitance. This unintended capacitance between conductive ...

This application note discusses the causes of parasitic inductance and its effects on 10Gbps optical transmitters. It also shows some techniques and relevant calculations on how to control the ...

Reducing back-end-of-line (BEOL) interconnect parasitic capacitance remains a focus for advanced technology node development. Porous low-k dielectric materials have been used to achieve reduced ...

As nanometer design projects become more commonplace, the side effects of shrinking process geometries also will grow familiar. The emergence of significant interconnect parasitic elements is chief ...

As electronics rely more and more on ICs, subtle details about discrete components get lost because we spend less time designing with them. For example, a relay seems like a simple component, but ...

As the need to scale transistors to ever-smaller sizes continues to press on technology designers, the impact of parasitic resistance and capacitance can approach or even outpace other aspects of ...

In this interview, industry expert Jason Chonko shares practical strategies for overcoming common challenges in high-resistance and low-signal electrical measurements by addressing noise, grounding, ...
