With laptops continuing to slim down in form factor and tablets grabbing larger market shares as time goes on available PCB space is vanishing quickly. To fit into smaller PCB areas, power electronics ...

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 ...

Vishay Intertechnology VSH bolstered its wet tantalum capacitor offerings by adding new ratings in the B and C case codes to its EP1 capacitor. Notably, the modified EP1 is based on the company’s ...

This new series is now optimized for SiC semiconductor-based inverters that require low inductances (ESL of 8 nH) and ...

AVX has produced an extended-range tantalum capacitor series that offers additional ratings in high CV with smaller case sizes than previously available. Designed specifically for military ...

Components built using the newer, safer, higher-performance conductive-polymer cathodes are now available for use in 20-V to 28-V power-supply applications. Jayson Young, Technical Product Manager, KO ...
