Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor – reduced capacitance at voltage
One phenomenon not immediately apparent when selecting the proper ceramic decoupling capacitor for your design is the fact that the effective capacitance of these devices is drastically reduced under DC bias voltage conditions – such as when used as a power supply filter. This paper from Nic Components explains the phenomenon quite well: http://www.niccomp.com/help/VoltageCoefficientofCapacitors-032012-R1.pdf

This allowed me to actually have an add free website for free without any bills to pay. Eventually Terry closed down his server that was running on… Continue reading Fresh start after 13 years on the web
