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 ...

Improving the capacitance of supercapacitors requires gaining control over ion behavior inside carbon nanopores. This study ...

Capacitance-voltage (C-V) testing is widely used to determine semiconductor parameters, particularly in MOSCAP and MOSFET structures. However, other types of semiconductor devices and technologies ...

Vishay’s 299 PHL-4TSI series of snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors includes a diverse selection of 350-V, 500-V, 550-V, and 600-V devices. Recent additions significantly broaden the ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. In any industry, there are applications whose failure could mean lost revenue and increased annoyance. In very few ...

Variable current will generate inductance, capacitance, and their related properties of inductive and capacitive reactance. Although there's no energy loss that directly results from these properties, ...

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 ...

As the technology node decreases, meeting inter-wire or coupling capacitance becomes extremely critical and challenging in SOC design. Shrinking technology node leads to increase in dielectric values, ...

A voltage divider is a passive linear circuit used to create a voltage less than or equal to the input voltage. It is a conversion device composed of a high-voltage arm and a low-voltage arm. The ...
