Texas Instruments Analog Engineer's Pocket Reference

Message from the editors:


This pocket reference is intended as a valuable quick guide for often used board- and systemlevel design formulae. This collection of formulae is based on a combined 50 years of analog
board- and system-level expertise. Much of the material herein was referred to over the years
via a folder stuffed full of printouts. Those worn pages have been organized and the information is now available via this guide in a bound and hard-to-lose format!
Here is a brief overview of the key areas included:
Key constants and conversions
Discrete components
AC and DC analog equations
Op amp basic configurations
OP amp bandwidth and stability
Overview of sensors
PCB trace R, L, C
Wire L, R, C
Binary, hex and decimal formats
A/D and D/A conversions
We hope you find this collection of formulae as useful as we have. Please send any comments
and/or ideas you have for the next edition of the Analog Engineer's Pocket Reference to
artkay_timgreen@list.ti.com
Additional resources:
Browse TI Precision Labs (www.ti.com/precisionlabs), a comprehensive online training
curriculum for analog engineers, which applies theory to real-world, hands-on examples.
Search for complete board-and-system level circuits in the TI Designs Precision
reference design library (www.ti.com/precisiondesigns).
Read how-to blogs from TI precision analog experts at the Precision Hub
(www.ti.com/thehub).
Find solutions, get help, share knowledge and solve problems with fellow engineers and
TI experts in the TI E2E Community (www.ti.com/e2e).

Parameter

Description

The nominal value of the capacitance


Table 11 lists standard capacitance values

ESR

Equivalent series resistance


Ideally this is zero
Ceramic capacitors have the best ESR (typically in milliohms). Tantalum Electrolytic have ESR in the hundreds of milliohms and Aluminum Electrolytic have ESR
in the ohms

ESL

Equivalent series inductance


Ideally this is zero
ESL ranges from 100 pH to 10 nH

Rp

Rp is a parallel leakage resistance (or insulation resistance)


Ideally this is infinite
This can range from tens of megaohms for some electrolytic capacitors to tens of
gigohms for ceramic

Voltage rating

The maximum voltage that can be applied to the capacitor


Exceeding this rating damages the capacitor

Voltage
coefficient

The change in capacitance with applied voltage in ppm/V


A high-voltage coefficient can introduce distortion
C0G capacitors have the lowest coefficient
The voltage coefficient is most important in applications that use capacitors in
signal processing such as filtering

Temperature
coefficient

The change in capacitance with across temperature in ppm/C


Ideally, the temperature coefficient is zero
The maximum specified drift generally ranges from 10 to 100ppm/C or greater
depending on the capacitor type (See Table 10 for details)
