Now consider a scenario where a similar device is driving a number of outputs (see FIGURE 2B) which are actually similar capacitive loads in parallel.
The pads must be kept small, with optimized anti-pads or clearance holes; otherwise the capacitive load of the microvia would contribute its own rise time degradation.
For example, the ExpressCard power-interface switch offers total power-monitoring solution required by the ExpressCard specification, while the USB power switches provide current-limiting protection in a smartcard slot and USB applications such as USB peripherals, notebook PCs, and USB-powered hubs, where heavy capacitive loads and short circuits are a major concern.
