Low ESR tantalum capacitors make a difference in circuit designs

App note from Vishay about how ESR in tantalum capacitors affects circuit performance. Link here (PDF) When choosing a capacitor for any application, there are a few key characteristics that must be understood in order to analyze its suitability for the circuit. In a simple capacitor...

They’re ‘Not’ JUST Capacitors

James Lewis from Kemet has made a presentation to address some of misconceptions about capacitors like how you should de-rate capacitors. James said that de-rating depends on the chemistry and configuration of a particularly capacitor.  So he started by asking a question: Should...
