How to find resistance, inductance, and capacitance of a load/device

I'm planning to make a proper simulation of a circuit. Before the simulation, I need information about the load (resistance, inductance, and capacitance). Example: the load is a CPU. range of wattage ...

How does capacitive loading and inductive loading differ from resistive load?

A voltage source is loaded when current is drawn from it. Usually we have voltage sources in circuits and not current sources. A resistive load draws current from a voltage source that is a function ...

CMOS active crystal oscillator load capacitance, to be used for PLL reference

I do not have a clear idea of what load capacitance is. I am looking forward to use the ADF4106 PLL with a ~580 MHz VCO to synthesize the frequency. For the reference input to the PLL, I wanted to ...

How much to increase crystal load capacitance based on this inaccuracy?

The frequency of my 40MHz crystal is 10.6 ppm high, how much should I increase my load capacitance? I am using 12pF crystal with 15pF load caps. As I understand if caps need to be unbalanced the ...

Estimating load capacitance when connecting two opamps?

I plan to use the OPA657 as a charge sensitive pre-amplifier for measuring the output from a reverse biased PIN photodiode. I would like to further amplify the signal using a wideband EL5163 opamp. ...

Capacitor Voltage Hold up (During Input Power Interruption)

I want to understand how long a capacitor can provide the stable voltage for a given load current, in the event of an input voltage interruption? Suppose, I have a single 100nF input capacitor at my ...

MEMS Oscillator not running, why?

For the latest iteration of my prototype, I replaced a quartz oscillator with (what I thought would be) a drop-in MEMS replacement: the DSC6013CI2A-033.0000. It is suppling a 33 MHz clock to a TLC5955 ...

Does parasitic capacitance increase the load value of electrodes?

I'm reading Samsung Display's patent about a display notch. In this patent, the inventors say that providing a parasitic capacitance to scan lines increases their load values. Can anyone tell me why?

I know it has small phase margin.. but why is it oscillating not at rails?

I came across an issue at my workplace with the following circuit. I did a OL response and saw that the gain margin is 21 db and the phase margin is 14 deg. Clearly not so good. Note that the 680nF ...

How to get the same output signal but with an increased capacitive load?

I'm designing a CMOS circuit of a VCO and it works perfectly fine when tested independently. Now when I cascade an other block like a divider to it, the output isn't the same as before. Rather its ...

What loading capacitor do I use for my crystal?

I am using this crystal (the 7.3728 MHz variant). The datasheet specifies a 5pF to 55pF load capacitance; is this really so? I was under the impression that most quartz crystals had an optimal ...
