Abstract:
A grid array capacitor can be used to physically and electrically couple an integrated circuit (IC) package to a printed circuit board (PCB). The grid array capacitor includes an inner conductor and an inner dielectric coaxially surrounding the inner conductor. A secondary conductor can be located to surround, in a coaxial orientation, the inner dielectric. Both the inner conductor and the secondary conductor can be electrically connected to the IC package and to the PCB. In certain applications, the structure of the inner conductor, inner dielectric, and secondary conductor can provide capacitance used to decouple electronic circuits.
