SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Design engineers debated the practical uses of controlled equivalent series resistance bypass capacitors at an evening panel discussion during DesignCon here Monday (Jan. 29).

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 ...

One of the most overlooked, but important performance characteristics of a capacitor used in power circuits is its equivalent series resistance (ESR). ESR determines the capacitor's I 2 R heating ...

Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance ...

High-quality multilayer organic capacitors are ideal for RF power amplifiers, filter networks, and MRI system applications GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer ...

Got a bunch of questionable electrolytic caps sitting in your junk bin? Looking to recap a vintage radio chassis? Then you might need to measure the equivalent series resistance of the capacitors, in ...

Designers are increasingly turning to Nichicon hybrid capacitors. These capacitors are available in a wide selection from Transfer Multisort Elektronik.

Broadcast consultant Tom Osenkowsky recently constructed a panel with two vu meters and a DPDT switch. The switch allows him to configure the meters to display conventional Left and Right channels or ...
