In less demanding applications, a key factor for selecting a capacitor may be as simple as ensuring that the operating voltage of the capacitor is at least as high as the operating voltage of 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 ...

Ideal capacitors only exist in textbooks. Every real-world capacitor has additional complexity arising from its physical structure. Two plates separated by a dielectric layer are in series with wire ...

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 ...
