Although advancements in dielectric materials and fabrication processes have improved integrated capacitors, chip designers still depend on board-level devices to support virtually all ICs. Primary ...

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) ...

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 ...

A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...

Kyocera AVX has added stand-off legs to surface-mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors to improve bending resilience and suppress thermally-induced weld cracking. Operation is over -55 to +125°C. “KGP ...

TOKYO, Oct. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. has commercialized and begun mass production of embeddable multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) that achieves a capacitance of 22-μF in a ...
