Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) with large-capacitance can be used as smoothing-capacitor in power supply circuits. Compared to other capacitor types such as an electrolytic capacitor, MLCC ...

Experimental electrical double-layer capacitances of porous carbon electrodes fall below ideal values, thus limiting the practical energy densities of carbon-based electrical double-layer capacitors.

Electronic circuits are integral parts of nearly all the technological advances being made in our lives today. Television, radio, phones and computers immediately come to mind, but electronics are ...

AVX Corp. has developed a new Niobium Oxide Multi-anode (NOM) capacitor, designed to deliver low ESR, high capacitance, high-ripple current capacitor performance. Designated the OxiCap Series, this ...

One common trend in switch-mode power supplies, microprocessors and digital circuit applications is the reduction of noise while operating at higher frequencies. In order to make these possible ...

Single-cell EC capacitors can reach 50,000 + farads. Daniel O'Brien, North American Capacitor Corp., Greencastle, Ind. All capacitors consist of two metallic electrode plates separated by an ...

We have been featuring some home made capacitors this week, and [Mike] wrote in to share his with us. While rolled capacitors are nice, they can be somewhat difficult to construct and grow to unwieldy ...

If you’ve ever worked on old gear, you probably know that electrolytic capacitors are prone to failure. [Dexter] undertook a repair of some four-decade-old capacitors in a power supply. He didn’t ...
