It can be electrically connected to a PCB either by the use of a socket or by soldering directly to the PCB. (LGA) low inductance decoupling capacitor. The award will be presented during a ceremony at AVX's Myrtle Beach, SC facilities. "The Product of the Year award was established to identify and reward products that are innovative in their design, represent a significant advancement in a technology or its application, and display a substantial achievement in the price and/or performance of the device," said Ralph Raiola, Electronic Products editor. The LGA Decoupling Capacitor utilizes a new fine copper termination process to produce advanced decoupling capacitors that enable improved system performance by providing extremely low equivalent series inductance see Equivalent series resistance for a related discussion Equivalent series inductance (ESL) is an effective inductance that is used to describe the inductive part of the impedance of certain electrical components. (ESL). The design builds on the technology employed by interdigitated capacitors (IDC) and reverse geometry multi-layer ceramic capacitors (LICC LICC London Institute for Contemporary Christianity (UK) LICC Local Interagency Coordinating Council LICC London International Creative Competition (UK) LICC Louisville International Cultural Center ) to provide much lower inductance in an industry standard geometry chip. By offering very low inductance, the technology is ideal for the latest "on the package" and board-level decoupling Decoupling The occurrence of returns on asset classes diverging from their normal pattern of correlation.
