Capacitors are classified according to their dielectric’s type. Electrolytic capacitors are popular in power electronic circuits, due to their high volumetric efficiency and excellent price ...

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 ...

AVX Corporation, has announced a new low ESR tantalum capacitor range which includes - for the first time - low ESR 330µF/6.3V parts AVX Corporation, has announced a new low ESR tantalum capacitor ...

In this segment, we’ll discuss ripple ratings — or how to cook a capacitor. Ripple is often evaluated in terms of its two components: ripple voltage and ripple current. In most applications, it’s a ...

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 ...
