ROHM Semiconductor today announced it has developed new Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) protection diodes – the RESDxVx series – that achieve both industry-leading low dynamic resistance (Rdyn) and ...

New polymer hybrid capacitor technology delivers high capacitance and industry-leading ripple current capability in a reduced ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

The race to build reliable quantum computers is fraught with obstacles, and one of the most difficult to overcome is related to the promising but elusive Majorana qubits. Now, an international team ...

Reducing the parasitic capacitance between the gate metal and the source/drain contact of a transistor can decrease device switching delays. One way to reduce parasitic capacitance is to reduce the ...

Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...

The rapid advancement of AI is driving a shift in the delivery of key components, particularly MLCC ceramic capacitors.

The capacitance of a classical conductor is determined solely by its geometry. When charged, the electrons distribute in space in a manner that minimizes their electrostatic energy. Quantum mechanics ...

Have you ever found the need to measure the capacitance of a capacitor? No multimeter handy (for shame)? Well, as it turns out you can actually measure capacitance using your Arduino Uno, with no ...

As the Semiconductor industry is growing so does the density of devices on chip. With the increasing density and decreasing spacing rules, the most significant effect that takes birth is parasitic.

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 ...
