Abstract

The described embodiments relate generally to electronic components and more specifically to a capacitor array that can increase component density on a printed circuit board and reduce a distance to a ground plane. An array of capacitors can be formed by coupling a group of capacitors on their sides interspersed with interposer boards. The resulting configuration can increase component density and reduce an amount of resistance and effective series inductance between a set of power decoupling capacitors and an integrated circuit.
