The concept of capacitance is fundamental in electronics, representing a component's ability to store electrical energy in an ...

Engineers designing power electronics find that capacitors are needed for several functions, from energy storage to filters and decoupling. Different capacitor types are available, that at first sight ...

Capacitors are essential components in electronics, primarily used for bypassing and decoupling. Depending on the capacitor type and its application, it is prone to aging and failure. Detecting a ...

Single-cell EC capacitors can reach 50,000 + farads. Daniel O'Brien, North American Capacitor Corp., Greencastle, Ind. All capacitors consist of two metallic electrode plates separated by an ...

Passive component manufacturers continue to deliver higher-performing capacitors and resistors in smaller package sizes. One thing that never changes in the passive component market is miniaturization ...

Building entire multiple-component devices on single nanowires is a promising strategy for miniaturizing electronic applications. Here we demonstrate a single nanowire capacitor with a coaxial ...

Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and low dropout (LDO) regulators are found in electronic systems. Critical SMPS requirements include a stable output voltage with load current, good temperature ...

If you build electronic circuits on a regular basis the chances are you will have used capacitors many times. They are a standard component along with the resistor whose values are lifted off the ...
