6 FAQs about [Capacitor Capacitance Matching]
What are the different impedances used for a capacitive load?
The different impedances used for a capacitive load are shown below. Typically, the matching network will be an L-match network or a pair of capacitors/inductors in a pi arrangement with the load. The designer can pick high pass or low pass functionality in the matching network and apply circuit analysis to get Zeq.
Can analog signals be impedance matched to a capacitive load?
Analog signals can be impedance-matched to a capacitive load with a standard LC filter circuit. In digital circuits, we can’t truly terminate the load capacitance because of the broadband nature of digital signals.
Can LC circuits be used for impedance matching?
This could be as simple as a series resistor, although in reactive circuits with a transmission line it sometimes makes sense to also use an LC circuit for impedance matching at the required frequency.
Is a capacitor a capacitive load?
Even banks of capacitors are not truly “capacitive” loads, at least from a reactive power perspective. In electronics, and specifically in PCBs, a load that appears to be capacitive will only do so in a certain frequency range, and the capacitance may not arise due to intentionally placed capacitors.
Can a diode be connected to a capacitor in parallel?
If it were really a capacitor in parallel with a current source, you could connect an inductor in parallel with it that resonates at 2.5 ghz. This combination has a very large impedance, and so it can basically be ignored. The circuit is then just a current source into your 50 ohm load. In reality, the diode has some real (resistive) impedance.
Do capacitors exist?
Yes, capacitors exist, but all capacitors are non-ideal, and it is this deviation from a theoretical capacitance that determines how to impedance match a load that exhibits capacitive behavior. Let’s take a look at this important aspect of interconnect design and see what it really means to terminate a capacitive load. What Is a Capacitive Load?
