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) ...

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 ...

AVX has expanded the applications of its LICA series of low inductance decoupling capacitor arrays. Widely utilised in commercial and industrial five nines uptime applications, such as mainframe class ...

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 ...

When failure is not an option, high reliability EMI filters deliver superior high-frequency EMI suppression for ...
