ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method for adding capacitance while conserving circuit board surface area. An apparatus for adding capacitance while conserving circuit board surface area includes a flex capacitor circuit with an upper surface and a lower surface and a plurality of conductive layers and an integrated-circuit (IC) device mounted on to the upper surface of the flex capacitor circuit and electrically connected to the flex capacitor circuit. The flex capacitor circuit is configured to provide bypass capacitance and, therefore, adds capacitance to the IC device when the IC device is mounted on the flex capacitor circuit.
