While at PCB West I can across a nice paper (pdf) from high-performance capacitor maker X2Y. They have some capacitors that might replace two or three capacitors in a decade arrangement, saving you ...

Everyone knows that the perfect capacitor to decouple the power rails around ICs is a 100 nF ceramic capacitor or equivalent, yet where does this ‘fact’ come from and is it even correct? These are the ...

In “Know the sometimes-surprising interactions in modelling a capacitor-bypass network” (abbreviated to “Know the…” when referred to here), Tamara Schmitz of Intersil and I provided some simulation ...

KYOTO, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) has begun the world’s first mass production of the 0402-inch size (1.0 × 0.5 mm) multilayer ceramic ...

Designed for use in general decoupling and filtering applications, the X5R series of class II dielectric ceramic capacitors has a temperature variation of capacitance within ±15% from -55ºC to +85ºC.

Noise management, induced by digital circuits on a p. c. board assembly, deserves the attention of power supply designers and those mastering digital, analog, and mixed-mode application problems ...

IPDiA, the French firm developing 3D silicon passive components, has announced a range of low profile capacitors for smart cards and RFID tags. The capacitors are just 100µm thick, and despite their ...
