Choosing the right capacitor, especially the right tantalum capacitor, is crucial to ensure equipment reliability both at first turn-on and over time. Always consider derating to achieve the best ...

The shift to 800-volt systems and Silicon Carbide inverters, while increasing efficiency, imposes extreme thermal and electrical stress on passive components like capacitors, effectively trading short ...

Japanese and Korean passive-component makers are diverting more capacity to high-end capacitors used in AI servers, tightening supply in mainstream electronics, and creating new openings for Taiwanese ...

Researchers at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge have demonstrated a new way to control radiation in the terahertz range—an often-overlooked part of the electromagnetic spectrum—with ...

Samsung Electro-Mechanics has started supplying silicon capacitors to Marvell Technology, a leading US integrated circuit (IC) design company. This development marks Samsung Electro-Mechanics's first ...

It’s a widely known problem with roots in urban legend: Devices with motherboards failing in the early 2000s with a sudden pop, a gruesome spill, or sometimes a burst of flames. And it was allegedly ...

Somewhere between the period of 1999 and 2007 a plague swept through the world, devastating lives and businesses. Identified by a scourge of electrolytic capacitors violently exploding or splurging ...

While capacitance is the primary characteristic of capacitors, the concept of “capacitor resistance” is essential for understanding their real-world performance. Capacitors are fundamental components ...

Everyone knows that the perfect capacitor to decouple the power rails around ICs is a 100 nF ceramic capacitor or equivalent, yet where does this ‘fact’ come from and is it even correct? These are the ...

“Am I the first person to discover this?” is a tricky question when it comes to classic Macs, some of the most pored-over devices on the planet. But there’s a lot to suggest that user paul.gaastra, on ...
