Large data transmission continues to increase annually due to live video streaming, cloud storage, PDA usage, IOT, and other technologies. Electronic devices are getting smaller yet required to accommodate higher speeds, and good Signal/Power Integrity. One solution to this emerging technological challenge is embedded capacitance technology.

Use of planar embedded capacitance will reduce overall inductance of the power distribution network as well as free up surface real estate by removing discrete capacitors. Ultra-thin laminates with high capacitance and Dk will also help reduce noise. Additionally, embedded capacitance technology offers better reliability due to having less components on the PCB surface.
