HFAN-01.1: Choosing AC-Coupling Capacitors


Abstract: When using AC-coupling in optical transceiver design, care should be taken to minimize the deterministic jitter associated with the low-frequency cutoff of the AC-coupling network. This application note discusses how to choose AC coupling capacitors that fit system requirements.
