Although higher switching frequencies in modern dc-dc converters allow the use of lower-valued capacitors, designers continue to choose tantalum capacitors for such applications. However, the latest ...

As we have seen in part I and part II of this series [1], there are no inherent wear-out mechanisms in ceramic capacitors. And yes, as covered in part II, the high dielectric Class 2 capacitors (X7R) ...

General decoupling applications require capacitors with a combination of high capacitance and low reactance (i.e., low equivalent series resistance [ESR] and equivalent series inductance [ESL]) in the ...

In power converters and power distribution networks (PDNs), mixing capacitors like high-inductance and high-capacity ...

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.
