In “Know the sometimes-surprising interactions in modelling a capacitor-bypass network” (abbreviated to “Know the…” when referred to here), Tamara Schmitz of Intersil and I provided some simulation ...
Everyone knows that the perfect capacitor to decouple the power rails around ICs is a 100 nF ceramic capacitor or equivalent, yet where does this ‘fact’ come from and is it even correct? These are the ...

As we have seen in part I and part II of this series [1], there are no inherent wear-out mechanisms in ceramic capacitors. And yes, as covered in part II, the high dielectric Class 2 capacitors (X7R) ...
Just recently, I was eavesdropping on several engineer acquaintances of mine discussing bypass capacitors. Also known as decoupling capacitors, these capacitors are everywhere. Some products contain ...
The 100% encapsulated SE4 metallized surface-mount power-supply decoupling capacitor series offers superior performance to unencapsulated polyphenylene-sulphide (PPS), polyester, and ceramic ...
The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
