Ceramic capacitor characteristics make them nearly ideal for use in power supplies. They provide wide operating temperature range, small footprint, high ripple current capacity, high surge current, ...

The size of a capacitor affects how much charge it can store (its capacitance), its voltage rating, and its physical ...

Ceramic capacitors play an oversized role in circuit performance as a major contributor to voltage regulator control loop stability and power delivery network (PDN) impedance. When designing with ...

Kyocera has announced NP0 dielectric MLCCs (multi-layer ceramic capacitors) approved to the Defense Logistics Agency Qualified Products Database (DLA QPD) for high-reliability military applications.

A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...
