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 ...

Variation in capacitor characteristics due to dc bias and other effects impact power-supply design and simulation, and their impact becomes greater as designers pursue higher performance and higher ...

Because of their high ESL compared to ceramic, tantalum capacitors are not the optimum choice for high frequency decoupling. Paralleling tantalum capacitors for bulk capacitance and ceramic for high ...

In a previous article I demonstrated the additional distortion produced when using High-K ceramic capacitors in a system’s signal path [1]. The underlying mechanism causing this distortion is the ...
