A few years ago, after more than 25 years of working with these things, I learned something new about ceramic capacitors. I was working on an LED light-bulb driver and the time constant of an RC ...

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, ...

Medium- and high-voltage capacitors find widespread use as snubbers or filters in applications, such as switching power supplies for audiovisual and business equipment (computers, modems and fax ...

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 ...
