Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

Ceramic capacitors are pretty much the pixie dust of the electronics world. If you sprinkle enough of them on a circuit, everything will work. These ceramic capacitors aren’t the newest and latest ...

Thin films and high-k dielectrics continue to be at the forefront of electronic device engineering, offering transformative solutions for enhanced performance and scaling in modern semiconductor ...

General decoupling applications require capacitors with a combination of high capacitance and low reactance (i.e., low equivalent series resistance [ESR] and equivalent series inductance [ESL]) in the ...

Components built using the newer, safer, higher-performance conductive-polymer cathodes are now available for use in 20-V to 28-V power-supply applications. Jayson Young, Technical Product Manager, KO ...
