In summary, replacing individual components with an IPC can open the door for functionality of the design and help reduce yield issues. By investing in an integrated passive component, any given design can have a 2dB improvement over manufacturing tolerances, increasing system yields. Additionally, an IPC will allow for a decrease in PCB real estate use which will allow designers to add features and hardware functions without requiring a larger form-factor change. Finally, in addition to discrete variances, IPC’s are also in compliance with EMI regulatory restrictions.
