Decoupling/bypass strategy for EPC5 FPGA BGA with only top layer assembly?
To be specific about the part, it is LFE5U-45F-8BG381C in 381-FBGA.
I have at least one ground plane and two power planes (one for VCCIO and one partitioned for VCC and VCCAUX).
However I want to ...

Purpose of bypass loop heading into analog front-end?
How do the 285k ohm and 4.2 nF components achieve filtering in this diagram?
Generally speaking, an RC filter with these values would produce ~133Hz low-pass filtering.
Does this still accomplish ...

IC only works when I place my finger on it but had no issues 8 months ago. Possible causes?
CONTEXT:
I made this PCB and all worked perfectly 10 months a go. Here’s an image just to give you a better idea:
I replaced the batteries (3 AAAA batteries to be exact) and noticed that display wasn’...

Trying to understand the exact math behind use of decoupling capacitors
From what I have read so far decoupling caps help in reducing the supply droop due to trace inductors in case the load draws large current transients. The capacitor works to supply the current ...

What type of cap would you use to block DC on a microphone-level audio line (unbalanced)?
I need to block a DC voltage on a microphone line, and a bit of research shows that MLCC is a bad idea because they can mechanically ring from vibration.
Question:
What type(s) of capacitor could be ...
