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 ...

Capacitors face the dilemma of being so simple in principle yet so complex in reality. As an alternative to high-capacitance ceramic devices, the AO-CAP from Kemet Electronics is a true surface-mount ...

Although there are other technologies competing for the same market – most notably polymer and hybrid polymer capacitors – electronics design engineers feel comfortable with electrolytics. They know ...

Advances in capacitor technologies may not be heralded the way semiconductor developments are, but these passive components are continually evolving nonetheless. A case in point is the pulse ...
