Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance) and series resistance play an ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Design engineers debated the practical uses of controlled equivalent series resistance bypass capacitors at an evening panel discussion during DesignCon here Monday (Jan. 29).

A 9-V battery or an optional ac wall adapter can power the Model 881 portable in-circuit equivalent-series resistance (ESR) and dc resistance (DCR) capacitor tester. It measures ESR and DSR from 0.1 ...

Although there are other technologies competing for the same market – most notably polymer and hybrid polymer capacitors – electronics design engineers feel comfortable with electrolytics. They know ...

Broadcast consultant Tom Osenkowsky recently constructed a panel with two vu meters and a DPDT switch. The switch allows him to configure the meters to display conventional Left and Right channels or ...

GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components and interconnect solutions, has developed a multilayer capacitor (MLC) chip with new ...
