How silicon capacitors improve power integrity for high-end processors by moving decoupling closer to the main processor die. Why rising power demands from GPUs such as NVIDIA’s Blackwell-based ...

Photo 1: The pullout shows a capacitor prototype with stratified 2D nanofillers embedded in the polymer matrix being tested in a University of Houston lab. In the quest for more efficient and ...

AVX Corporation has expanded its HQ Series MLC surface mount RF power capacitors to include P90 dielectric versions for high power high frequency applications, such as medical and industrial ...

A recent article in Nature Communications proposed a high-entropy tungsten bronze-type relaxor ferroelectric ceramic with an ultrahigh recoverable energy density of 11.0 J/cm 3 and a high efficiency ...

Vehicle electrification is the biggest growth driver for capacitors used in power converters, according to a recent report from Yole Intelligence, part of Yole Group. The power capacitor market share ...

A research group has successfully developed a high-capacity capacitor, an energy storage device -- using a solid electrolyte with high deformability -- that can operate at high temperatures. With this ...

With all the battery technologies and modern low-current sleep modes in most microcontrollers, running a sensor and microcontroller combo off-grid and far away from any infrastructure is usually not ...

Until recently, most microwave capacitors were based on fired multilayer ceramic technology. In this process, layers of highly conductive electrode metal alloys are interleaved with low-loss ceramic ...

This article is adapted from a presentation at TestConX, March 5-8, 2023, Mesa, AZ. A power-delivery network (PDN), also called a power-distribution network, is a localized network that delivers power ...

The author writes occasionally here about restoring vintage electronics. Vintage equipment relies on many components to run properly. Let’s focus today on what capacitors do in this process. A ...
