The VJ CDC (controlled-discharge capacitor) offers voltage ratings from 1000 to 1500V dc and finds use in high-pulse-current applications, including detonation devices and electronics fuzing. The ...

Vintage computer hardware can fail in a variety of fascinating ways, with [Bits und Bolts] dealing with an interesting failure mode, in the form of degraded MLCC capacitors on Voodoo 2 graphics cards.

For decades, multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have been the go-to choice for surface-mounted capacitors due to their many advantages, such as wide available capacitance range, non-polarity, low ...

The causal agent of Class II MLCC acoustic noise. What are the main elements that contribute to the noise problem? A “specialized” option to acquiring a low acoustic noise MLCC. System speeds across ...
