Learn how to reduce second harmonic distortion by following some guidelines for placing decoupling capacitors in your PCB layout in article from Steve Araras published by All About Circuits. In this article, we’ll see that, without proper decoupling, we cannot extract the maximum linearity performance from a high-speed op-amp. In addition, we’ll discuss that simply rearranging a decoupling capacitor can affect the distortion performance of a high-speed amplification stage.

Design teams are now eyeing supercapacitors for a range of new products in energy harvesting, office automation, backup systems, and more. These supercapacitor cells provide efficient storage that can quickly discharge energy on demand. To ensure peak performance and a long product life cycle, the supercapacitor’s voltage must be balanced. If an imbalance occurs due to leakage current differences between the cells, an energy drain could be triggered, causing the supercapacitor cells to fail prematurely.
