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 ...

Using LTspice to determine the effect of voltage dependence caused by MLCCs. How to simulate for applications with variable voltage. Nonlinear models vs. the standard constant-capacitance model. This ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

Figure. (a) Polycrystalline perovskite X-ray flat panel detector prototype with suppressed bulk parasitic capacitance and interface drift capacitance. (b) Comparison of X-ray imaging before and after ...

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 ...

When Ceramic Capacitors Go Bad – Aging. Capacitor Aging applies to all Class 2 ceramic capacitors as they are built of ferroelectric materials. C0G types (Class 1) do not exhibit this aging effect, ...
