Some 99 percent of the “design” problems associated with linear and switching regulators can be traced directly to the improper use of capacitors: wrong type, wrong value, or incorrect physical ...

Power management of battery-powered electronic devices is becoming increasingly more important for the microelectronics industry. This white paper details the difference between low dropout (LDO) ...

Ceramic capacitor characteristics make them nearly ideal for use in power supplies. They provide wide operating temperature range, small footprint, high ripple current capacity, high surge current, ...
