Because of their high ESL compared to ceramic, tantalum capacitors are not the optimum choice for high frequency decoupling. Paralleling tantalum capacitors for bulk capacitance and ceramic for high ...

As we have seen in part I and part II of this series [1], there are no inherent wear-out mechanisms in ceramic capacitors. And yes, as covered in part II, the high dielectric Class 2 capacitors (X7R) ...

In 1999, Murata Electronics first began to see industry acceptance of ceramic capacitors as substitutes for hard-to-get tantalum caps. Passive-component producers had adapted to the needs of their ...

KEMET Corporation, a leading manufacturer of tantalum, ceramic, aluminum, film, paper and electrolytic capacitors, introduced its new Tantalum Multiple Anode MnO2 Hi-Rel Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS ...

If you build electronic circuits on a regular basis the chances are you will have used capacitors many times. They are a standard component along with the resistor whose values are lifted off the ...
