Smyna, Ga. – Murata Electronics introduced a new line of miniaturized chip monolithic ceramic capacitors that employ ultra-thin dielectric layers, multiple case sizes, X5R characteristics and ...
Usually marked onto the body of capacitors in the form of alphanumeric characters are the actual values of capacitance, voltage or tolerance. Although the capacitance value may be printed on the body ...
Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance ...
Occasionally a design requires capacitors that are much closer to being identical in value to one another than the usual tolerance ranges afford. Precision matching of components from parts on hand ...
Capacitors are among the simplest of electronic components – in theory – but the practical implementation is becoming more complex, says Christian Merkel. Capacitors are two conducting plates, ...
When designers think of passive components, they think of manufacturing tolerances for inductors and capacitors that are typically ± 20% or ± 10%. That's okay in theory, but not when these components ...
