Ripple Current: An Increasingly Relevant Test to Complement Design Considerations

Ripple Current: An Increasingly Relevant Test to Complement Design Considerations

Ripple Current: An Increasingly Relevant Test to Complement Design Considerations Written By: Vincent Mao, Joe Hock, Caleb Winfrey Abstract: The world is shifting towards electrification with electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy, and smaller, more powerful, but efficient, system-on-chips (SOCs) as both signal and power integrity across different environments become a concern. The ripple current test is usually required to assess device performance up to 20°C above room temperature. This overview focuses on the test setups used to cover three ESR tiers (low, medium, high, respectively) for applications from signal integrity to microwave/RF. We present initial results and procedures to collect and analyze data as well as considerations for performance impacts with mounted parts. Ongoing challenges are also discussed.

Reducing Board Surface Area and Improving RF Performance by Embedding Ultra Thin Capacitors

Reducing Board Surface Area and Improving RF Performance by Embedding Ultra Thin Capacitors

Board space limitations are pushing for smaller components and greater component density while maintaining or improving broadband performance. The industry has tried to accommodate board limitations by embedding components within the board material itself. Even though many passive components are designed to have a minimal part height, traditional capacitors are thicker components, which makes them undesirable for embedded solutions. This study focuses on the Metal Oxide Silicon (MOS) Capacitor technology, and how these capacitors are ideal for embeddable applications, and help improve high-frequency performance.
