Life-dependent electronics now extend well beyond the implantable medical electronics that traditionally comprised this category. Other demanding applications, including aircraft controls, automotive ...
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 ...
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 ...
