Due to current bottlenecks in the procurement of surface-mount ceramic capacitors, designers are looking for substitutes to keep their production lines running smoothly, and to find long-term ...

When choosing a capacitor for any application, there are a few key characteristics that must be understood in order to analyze its suitability for the circuit. In a simple capacitor equivalent circuit ...

One of the most overlooked, but important performance characteristics of a capacitor used in power circuits is its equivalent series resistance (ESR). ESR determines the capacitor's I 2 R heating ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Capacitors often are connected in parallel in power electronics to decrease high-frequency ripples, current stress, decrease power ...
