This tutorial explains how ceramic capacitor type designations, such as X7R and Y5V, imply nothing about voltage coefficients. Engineers must check the data to know, really know, how a specific ...

The last installment of Analog Domain introduced the four classifications of ceramic capacitors that the EIA (Electronics Industries Alliance) defines in its standard EIA 198-1F (reference 1 and ...

Medium- and high-voltage capacitors find widespread use as snubbers or filters in applications, such as switching power supplies for audiovisual and business equipment (computers, modems and fax ...

Vishay has introduced 1, 2 and 3kV multi-layer ceramic capacitors for commercial applications. In seven case sizes from 1206 to 2225, they are made with either C0G (NP0) or X7R dielectric. C0G types ...

Because of their high ESL compared to ceramic, tantalum capacitors are not the optimum choice for high frequency decoupling. Paralleling tantalum capacitors for bulk capacitance and ceramic for high ...
