The last installment of Analog Domain introduced the four classifications of ceramic capacitors that the EIA (Electronics Industries Alliance) defines in its standard EIA 198-1F (reference 1 and ...
This tutorial explains how ceramic capacitor type designations, such as X7R and Y5V, imply nothing about voltage coefficients. Engineers must check the data to know, really know, how a specific ...
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 ...
Over the last 40 years, a series of misconceptions regarding mica capacitor applications has led novice users to consistently over-derate wound or rolled mica/epoxy dielectric capacitors. The mined ...
