I have compiled and forwarded to John the email from the si-list
pertaining to Zycon BC. Remembering that this is a technical
forum for the discussion of signal integrity (and not a
marketing forum), I would like to invite john to comment on
Zycon's BC technology. We would be interested in the materials,
dielectric constant, thickness, yield and reliability
implications, and maybe a few words on the manufacturing
techniques for integrating BC into a PCB.
In my opinion, the card power planes are going to have to take
over where the decoupling capacitors leave off. I think a lot
of us can benefit from this technology.
