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 ...

KYOTO, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) has developed the GRM011R60J104M, the world’s first multi-layer ceramic capacitor *1 to feature a ...

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 ...

In the AI hardware boom, chips get the headlines. But inside every AI server, a quieter part is now driving supply risk and ...

Murata’s DE6 series (Type KJ) ceramic capacitors are designed for automotive applications and certified to the necessary safety standards. These capacitors have a 300Vac voltage rating and the ...

Ordinality, the tiniest capacitor is considered to be about 0.25mm x 0.125mm. In a world where ever-smaller parts are a virtue, Murata Manufacturing has created a multilayer ceramic capacitor that is ...

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.

Within the body of a high-voltage multi-layer ceramic capacitor, a gap-type defect is beginning its career of destruction. The defect may be a void within the ceramic dielectric, a crack within the ...

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 ...

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 ...
