And, while power circuits are becoming increasingly powerful, requiring hybrid capacitors to have higher rated ripple currents, as the performance of ADAS and other devices improves, a wide range of ...

The role of X- and Y-capacitors and where they’re mandated. How versions in surface-mount packages ease production flow. The key parameters of these capacitors in their unique roles. Designing a new ...

There is a general trend of making electronics smaller and with more functionality. This translates into: “Cram it in there,” so naturally designers look to find smaller and smaller parts. What was on ...

As we have seen in part I and part II of this series [1], there are no inherent wear-out mechanisms in ceramic capacitors. And yes, as covered in part II, the high dielectric Class 2 capacitors (X7R) ...

TDK’s ModCap UHP capacitors feature 200,000-hour lifetimes at 105°C and voltage ratings between 900 and 2,000 V. The high operating temperature solves the weakest link in wide-bandgap (WBG)-based ...
