High-reliability capacitors specifically designed for use in harsh, high-temperature power conversion applications— including military, aerospace, and energy applications — are always in demand.

Taiyo Yuden has squeezed 1,000μF into a 2.5V multi-layer ceramic capacitor only 4.5 x 3.2 x 3.2mm. Called PMK432 BJ108MU-TE, it is aimed at replacing electrolytic capacitors in power supplies for ...

Power system designers are constantly under pressure to attain larger power densities and improved conversion efficiencies, whether it is for data servers for the internet of things or data centers.

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 ...

Guest columnist Naoyuki Kobayashi, senior product manager at Murata says that one problem frequently encountered when designing LED lighting circuits is that the capacitors in the circuit experience ...
