 Integrated passive devices

Integrated Passive Devices (IPD's) ""or Integrated Passive Components (IPC's) or Embedded Passive Components"" are electronic components where resistors (R), capacitors (C), inductors(L)/coils/chokes, microstriplines, impedance matching elements, baluns or any combinations of them are integrated in the same package or on the same substrate.Sometimes integrated passives can also be called as embedded passives , and still the difference between integrated and embedded passives is technically unclear , .
