In 2008, Kendall Castor-Perry began an extended investigation into the effect that bypass capacitor selection has on analog circuit performance. Five years on, we’re reposting this classic series, ...

What are output capacitors and how do they impact power supplies? Simulating a circuit to reduce the amount of capacitors in a supply. What is adaptive voltage positioning? A power supply’s output ...

There is a general trend of making electronics smaller and with more functionality. This translates into: “Cram it in there,” so naturally designers look to find smaller and smaller parts. What was on ...

Mechanical flexibility, the use of pure aluminum electrodes, immunity to aging and stable operating characteristics ensure the reliability of these capacitors in power applications. The electrical and ...
