General decoupling applications require capacitors with a combination of high capacitance and low reactance (i.e., low equivalent series resistance [ESR] and equivalent series inductance [ESL]) in the ...

Over the past ten years or so, ceramic capacitors have made great strides in volumetric efficiency. 1 µF used to be the biggest you could get, and now, at a low voltage, you can get 470 µF in a small ...

Ceramic capacitors are pretty much the pixie dust of the electronics world. If you sprinkle enough of them on a circuit, everything will work. These ceramic capacitors aren’t the newest and latest ...

Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and low dropout (LDO) regulators are found in electronic systems. Critical SMPS requirements include a stable output voltage with load current, good temperature ...

For decades, multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have been the go-to choice for surface-mounted capacitors due to their many advantages, such as wide available capacitance range, non-polarity, low ...

Empower Semiconductor, a leading developer of integrated voltage regulators (IVRs), has unveiled the latest and largest silicon capacitor in its ECAP product family for high frequency decoupling.

How do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! So, how do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! Okay buckle up, ...

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced two series of automotive grade, surface-mount aluminium electrolytic capacitors that combine working at up to 450V and up to +125°C with a useful life up to 6,000 ...
