Tiivistelmä
Parasitic components are often unwanted circuit elements that can lead to performance issues in high-speed designs. The goal of this study was to provide an overview of parasitic components, their causes and effects with examples of commonly found issues.
The study was conducted through reviewing textbooks, application notes, and datasheets. Selected examples were provided on frequently encountered topics. Examples on parasitic resistance, parasitic inductance, and parasitic capacitance were identified.
Key findings highlight the impact of parasitic components to signal integrity issues, such as crosstalk. Additionally, parasitic components were found to contribute to power integrity issues and losses in power distribution networks.
This report highlights the need for understanding parasitic components in modern electronics design. The insight from this report aims to aid aspiring PCB designers spot and mitigate these issues, improving circuit reliability.
