In “Know the sometimes-surprising interactions in modelling a capacitor-bypass network” (abbreviated to “Know the…” when referred to here), Tamara Schmitz of Intersil and I provided some simulation ...

One of the standard types of components in electronic circuits is capacitors, and often occurring in practical circuits are the complicated combinations of capacitors. When we connect two capacitors ...

With their low equivalent series resistance (ESR), which allows for good ripple-current handling as well as high surge-voltage ratings and self-healing properties, film capacitors are strong ...

Overload prevention in any given design is serious business, which means that the choice of safety capacitor shouldn’t be taken lightly either. Areas to consider in the decision process include safety ...
