What capacitance do you get when you buy a multilayer ceramic capacitor? It might sound like an odd question but the actual answer is down to dielectric type, design and operational conditions which ...

There are many parameters to consider when designing a circuit using an operational amplifier (op amp) including the op-amp’s gain bandwidth (GBW) product, offset voltage and quiescent current. In ...

Ferroelectrics are getting a serious re-examination, as chipmakers look for new options to maintain drive current. Ferroelectric materials can provide non-volatile memory, serving an important ...

According to precedence, MOSFET datasheets show output capacitance at a single measured voltage. While these values were good enough for relative comparison between products in the past, it is ...

As the technology node decreases, meeting inter-wire or coupling capacitance becomes extremely critical and challenging in SOC design. Shrinking technology node leads to increase in dielectric values, ...

If you’re the person tasked with controlling the level of fly ash in collection hoppers, you know how difficult the application can be. What at first looks like a simple measurement quickly proves to ...

Optical stimulation has enabled important advances in the study of brain function and other biological processes, and holds promise for medical applications ranging from hearing restoration to cardiac ...
