There has been work on laying out linear capacitors on IC substrates using fractals, but we aren’t sure how that would translate into a PCB layout. We’ve seen lots of other PC trace components ...

Knowing the basics of inductance and capacitance are crucial for PCB designers. You already know that ICs need decoupling capacitors, but knowing why is a better nugget of knowledge. Knowing some ...

The mounting of the capacitor – C22 – matches the markings on the PCB. However, rather than a positive voltage, the positive marked terminal is connected to -5V from the power connector ...

On the graphics card, you can see the darkened, yellowed area of the PCB near a suspected blown capacitor. The Redditor also shows a burn mark on the Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard ...
