Capacitors are among the simplest of electronic components – in theory – but the practical implementation is becoming more complex, says Christian Merkel. Capacitors are two conducting plates, ...

Capacitors. These seemingly simple devices are an integral part of virtually every electronic design. It’s been noted that capacitors account for more items in most circuit bills-of-material (BOMs) ...

Some 99 percent of the “design” problems associated with linear and switching regulators can be traced directly to the improper use of capacitors: wrong type, wrong value, or incorrect physical ...

Tantalum capacitors offer designers of densely packed, high-performance electronic circuits a reliable high-capacitance solution with stable performance. A historical favorite among design engineers, ...

Few passive components exist in the sheer variety of forms that the capacitor has taken. Simple in principle, the design of the capacitor involves a number of tradeoffs that make it impossible to ...

Figure 1 shows a switching regulator that can generate a lower voltage from a high voltage. In this type of circuit, the bypass capacitor (CBYP) is especially important. It has to support the switched ...
