Most designers know that dc bias significantly decreases the effective capacitance of Class II MLCCs. But is it enough to estimate the effective capacitance of an MLCC just by looking at the dc bias ...

According to precedence, MOSFET datasheets show output capacitance at a single measured voltage. While these values were good enough for relative comparison between products in the past, it is ...

Capacitors are among the simplest of electronic components – in theory – but the practical implementation is becoming more complex, says Christian Merkel. Capacitors are two conducting plates, ...

Current conveyors and capacitance multipliers are fundamental building blocks in modern CMOS technology, facilitating advanced analog signal processing and integrated circuit design. These circuits ...

Using LTspice to determine the effect of voltage dependence caused by MLCCs. How to simulate for applications with variable voltage. Nonlinear models vs. the standard constant-capacitance model. This ...

Capacitors may seem simple enough, but specifying them has grown more complex in recent years. The reason why comes down to freedom of choice. The universe of capacitors for embedded systems ...
