The PCI Express Base Specification requires that each lane of a PCI Express link be AC-coupled between the driver and receiver. The actual AC coupling capacitors can be located either on or off the ...

Today’s integrated video filter/driver devices can be designed into video systems (set-top boxes, PVRs, TVs) using a wide range of coupling and clamping configurations, such as input ac- or ...

AC coupling is common in amplifier circuits for practical and historical reasons. The practical reason is to remove DC power on a transmission line and into a load. The historical reason is to conform ...

DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION contributed article, which begins on Page 2. Why should you ac-couple your video signals? In many cases, it's because the application has a ...

Amplifier coupling. To prevent DC biasing of consecutive amplifier stages from adversely affecting other stages, a method of coupling an AC signal into or out of another amplifier or another source ...
