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 ...

More and more portable devices now use ceramic capacitors for filtering of dc/dc-converter inputs. Ceramic capacitors offer the advantages of small size, low ESR (equivalent series resistance) and ...

KYOTO, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) has expanded its innovative range of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with yet another ...

Medium- and high-voltage capacitors find widespread use as snubbers or filters in applications, such as switching power supplies for audiovisual and business equipment (computers, modems and fax ...

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.

Murata has expanded its range of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) and has unveiled what it claims is the world’s first 006003-inch size (0.16 mm x 0.08 mm) MLCC. Credit: Murata Building on 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 ...

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 ...

Samsung is aiming at electric vehicle on-board chargers with a 1,000v 22nF multi-layer ceramic capacitor. CL32C223JIV1PN# (yes, there is a # in the part number) is aimed at CLLC resonant power supply ...

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 ...
