High-capacity, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) have a property often not well understood by electronic designers: the capacitance of these devices varies with applied DC voltage. This phenomenon ...

Don’t get zapped when buying a new high-voltage DC power supply. Understand the specifications first. Lasers, linear accelera-tors, X-ray machines, defibrillators, radar, and numerous other ...

If a product uses power, then power consumption and power quality measurements must be made as part of product design and test. These measurements are essential to optimize product design, comply with ...

Battery cell open circuit voltage (OCV) is an important measurement made on the cell during manufacturing to determine cell performance quickly and reliably. Download our application note to learn why ...

Ceramic capacitors are pretty much the pixie dust of the electronics world. If you sprinkle enough of them on a circuit, everything will work. These ceramic capacitors aren’t the newest and latest ...

Measuring resistance doesn’t seem to be a big deal. Put your meter leads across two wires or terminals and read the value, right? Most of the time that is good enough, but sometimes you need better ...

(Nanowerk News) Information technologies of the future will likely use electron spin -- rather than electron charge -- to carry information. But first, scientists need to better understand how to ...
