Ceramic Y5V SMT capacitorshave recently become availablein values and sizes that were previouslyavailable only with electrolyticcapacitors. At first glance, they mayseem a worthwhile unpolarized ...

Many SPICE models are available online that were created by IC and semiconductor manufacturers. Unfortunately, availability doesn't necessarily equal usability. The majority of these models have no ...

Variation in capacitor characteristics due to dc bias and other effects impact power-supply design and simulation, and their impact becomes greater as designers pursue higher performance and higher ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a computational model that helps users understand how changes in the nanostructure of materials affect their conductivity - with the goal ...

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 ...

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) ...
