Smyna, Ga. – Murata Electronics introduced a new line of miniaturized chip monolithic ceramic capacitors that employ ultra-thin dielectric layers, multiple case sizes, X5R characteristics and ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance) and series resistance play an ...

Occasionally a design requires capacitors that are much closer to being identical in value to one another than the usual tolerance ranges afford. Precision matching of components from parts on hand ...

If you build electronic circuits on a regular basis the chances are you will have used capacitors many times. They are a standard component along with the resistor whose values are lifted off the ...

The author writes occasionally here about restoring vintage electronics. Vintage equipment relies on many components to run properly. Let’s focus today on what capacitors do in this process. A ...

Smyrna, Ga. – Designed to replace aluminum electrolytic and tantalum capacitors, Murata Electronics North America Inc.'s new line of miniaturized multilayer ceramic chip capacitors offers an increased ...
