Out of all of the fundamental passive electronic components, capacitors are arguably the most abundantly used. In fact, it is hard to find a circuit board that does not have a capacitor on it and a ...

A capacitor is a two-terminal device that consists of two conducting bodies separated by a nonconducting material. The material is known as an insulator or a dielectric. The construction of the ...

Because of their high ESL compared to ceramic, tantalum capacitors are not the optimum choice for high frequency decoupling. Paralleling tantalum capacitors for bulk capacitance and ceramic for high ...
