The company I had transferred to in the Midwest backin the 1980s made locomotives and was plagued by along-term field problem. An overcurrent-protectioncircuit would sometimes trip when the locomotive ...

Previously on “Yet more…” we built up a pair of regulators with output capacitors, and connected them to some decoupling caps with a short length of copper trace. We looked at the impedance at these ...

A thin-film termination technology developed by AVX (www.avx.com) makes it possible to dramatically reduce the internal inductance of decoupling capacitors. Decoupling capacitors produced with this ...

Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi start this week’s episode by addressing the ongoing Red Hat drama and the trend towards “renting” software. The discussion then shifts to homebrew VR gear, a particularly ...

Designed for use in general decoupling and filtering applications, the X5R series of class II dielectric ceramic capacitors has a temperature variation of capacitance within ±15% from -55ºC to +85ºC.
