And it was allegedly all due to one guy who didn't copy a stolen formula correctly. The "capacitor plague" of the early 2000s was real and fairly widespread among devices, even if the majority of ...

The photodiode sees approximately the same voltage on both terminals, so the internal capacitor can’t charge and, therefore, doesn’t impose any limits on rate of change. Of course, a better ...

Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co. (Semco) began mass-producing silicon capacitors for global semiconductor firms in the fourth quarter of 2024, with plans to ramp up supply diversification both ...

Kelly has over 10 years of experience writing about home design and improvement for many prominent publications. She also spent several years working at a tech startup for an interior design game ...

Researchers believe they’ve discovered a new material structure that can improve the energy storage of capacitors. The structure allows for storage while improving the efficiency of ultrafast ...

The very real 'millennium bug' was a dodgy cap fit to burst. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. At the turn of the millennium ...

What was on paper at least a 0.1 µF, 1206 sized capacitor, today can be bought in a 0402 size. But is it really the equivalent capacitor? We will take a look at some of the issues here. As engineers, ...

When choosing an automotive capacitor, designers must not only understand the performance characteristics of different technologies, but also how they’re affected by the operating conditions of ...

A "potential reversed memory capacitor" in some boards can cause them to catch on fire. Not all ROG Maximus Z690 Hero boards have the capacitor installed backwards, and the Actually Hardware ...
