As we have seen in part I and part II of this series [1], there are no inherent wear-out mechanisms in ceramic capacitors. And yes, as covered in part II, the high dielectric Class 2 capacitors (X7R) ...

If you’ve been building circuits for any length of time, you probably know you need decoupling capacitors to keep your circuits stable. But even though it’s a favorite technique of ours, just ...

The 100% encapsulated SE4 metallized surface-mount power-supply decoupling capacitor series offers superior performance to unencapsulated polyphenylene-sulphide (PPS), polyester, and ceramic ...

Previously on “Yet More…” we looked at the impedance of a typical regulator and decoupling capacitor combination, and showed what happened when you 'shock' it with some dynamic current consumption.

The four basic capacitor types. The key parameters involved in selecting the right capacitor for automotive designs. Advantages and limitations of electrolytic and electrostatic capacitors. Choosing a ...
