[Tahmid Mahbub] was measuring an electrolytic capacitor with an LCR and noticed it measuring 19 uF despite the device being rated at 470 uF. This was because such parts are usually specified at ...

I have a design using the TPS2501 and limiting USB charge current to 500 mA. Our design only uses 10 uF output capacitor, but I found several mentions that 120 uF minimum is required. We are somewhat ...

Most ICs need to be decoupled from their power supply, usually with a 0.1uF capacitor between each power pin and ground. Decoupling is usually used to remove noise and to smooth power fluctuations.

Single supply source when VREG is enabled. Place a 2.2-uF decoupling capacitor on each pin. The exact value of the total decoupling capacitance should be determined by the system voltage regulation ...
