Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. For decades, 50 V was the maximum voltage rating available for solid SMD tantalum capacitors. With today's requirements ...

Tantalum surface-mount capacitors have gained widespread favor for bulk decoupling use in both conventional and switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) since their introduction more than 20 years ago.

With laptops continuing to slim down in form factor and tablets grabbing larger market shares as time goes on available PCB space is vanishing quickly. To fit into smaller PCB areas, power electronics ...

Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVTs) are central to modern power systems, where they not only scale high transmission voltages into measurable signals but also ensure the precision needed for ...
