This application note discusses bypass capacitor and introduces its properties and applications. Bypass capacitors are applied between the power supply pins VCC and GND of integrated circuits. They ...

Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...

Storage elements that buffer energy of the most diverse forms, and make it available for subsequent conversion processes, are significant components in modern power supplies and frequency converters.

Giovanni D’Amore discusses approaches to characterising both dielectric and magnetic materials using impedance analysers and specialist fixtures. We are used to thinking about technological progress ...

Although not all applications are safety critical or mission critical, reliability is still a vital consideration for many electronic products. Making informed choices at the component selection stage ...
