Advanced high-speed signal propagation,
Introduction,
Dr. Howard Johnson, University of Oxford
- 12 hour course, free, needing registration
Note: These are part of three films that Howard Johnson wanted to share with all engineers to give something back to the industry following his retirement. The first course, High-Speed Digital Design was made available in 2015, Advanced High-Speed Signal Propagation in January 2016 and the last in the series, High-Speed Noise and Grounding will be released in July 2016.

Using Decoupling
Capacitors,
Application Note Fax ID 4504, Cypress, July 1994, Revised March 11,
1999
- Recommends for IC decoupling to use only a single value capacitor (may be several in parallel of this value), or capacitors that must remain within a 2:1 value range to prevent a reactance peak.
