In the race to produce a quantum computer, a number of projects are seeking a way to create quantum bits -- or qubits -- that are stable, meaning they are not much affected by changes in their ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
