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 ...

Medium- and high-voltage capacitors find widespread use as snubbers or filters in applications, such as switching power supplies for audiovisual and business equipment (computers, modems and fax ...

Ceramic resonators offer an attractive alternative to quartz crystals for stabilizing oscillation frequencies in many ...

Capacitors are among the simplest of electronic components – in theory – but the practical implementation is becoming more complex, says Christian Merkel. Capacitors are two conducting plates, ...

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 ...
