New passive component architectures can meet the challenging requirements of emerging applications such as advanced driver assistance systems, says Verena Salan, High school physics teaches us that an ...
The inverters and charging systems in hybrid or fully electric vehicles provide a topical example of a high-voltage application that faces extreme space constraints. When multilayer ceramic capacitors ...
Compared to 2-terminal capacitors, 3-terminal, feed-through capacitors have low ESL, high attenuation in high-frequency ranges and require less board space. Previously, a smoothing circuit required ...
A thin-film termination technology developed by AVX makes it possible to dramatically reduce the internal inductance of decoupling capacitors. A thin-film termination technology developed by AVX ...
Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...
