A researcher uses a long-standing problem as a solution that he believes could lead to better and less expensive cell phones and other devices. Sandia National Laboratories' Juan Elizondo-Decanini ...

Ceramic Y5V SMT capacitorshave recently become availablein values and sizes that were previouslyavailable only with electrolyticcapacitors. At first glance, they mayseem a worthwhile unpolarized ...

In a previous article I demonstrated the additional distortion produced when using High-K ceramic capacitors in a system’s signal path [1]. The underlying mechanism causing this distortion is the ...

Medical implants and spacecraft can suddenly go dead, often for the same reason: cracks in ceramic capacitors, devices that store electric charge in electronic circuits. These cracks, at first ...
