Don’t think simple passive components will be trouble-free in your designs. A component as simple as a capacitor can cause you big headaches. I was reminded of this when EDN editor Martin Rowe came ...

In the 1960s, mainframe computers took up entire rooms. By the 1980s, there were individual workstations and just a few decades later, laptops and smartphones became ubiquitous. Today’s technology is ...

Many system applications require that capacitors be connected together, in series and/or parallel combinations, to form a "bank" with a specific voltage and capacitance rating. The most critical ...

In today's world of increasing electrical noise, higher-speed logic, and more-sensitive circuits, the need for high-frequency noise filtering is especially critical. Noise can enter a circuit through ...
