For example, those 100 nF capacitors really ought to be placed within 10 mm of your chip if it’s operating at 100 MHz, but you can get away with even 10 cm if no signals go much above 1 MHz.

Capacitor and Inductor Testing. For testing capacitors and inductors, a 10-Hz, 100-mVpk-pk square wave is used as the stimulus. By using such a low voltage, ...

Malvern, Pa. — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has expanded its Tantamount tantalum capacitor family with the introduction of its Hi-Rel COTS T95 series. These solid tantalum chip capacitors provide high ...

Electronically-variable capacitors, whether used for T&M or in an end circuit, usually have a maximum capacitance of a few hundred picofarads, and a limited adjustment range. This Design Idea ...

The three capacitors shown in Figure 1 were tested to the EIA-456-A standard. Listed below are the test results for each capacitor for one, five, and 10 years of simulated field reliability. As ...

HD Electric Co.'s Cap Check line of capacitor testers are designed to identify internal problems with a capacitor or capacitor bank and have proven to be a valuable asset in maintaining both ...

The transformer and capacitor tester, developed by Hastings, a global supplier of hot line tools and equipment, ensures the safety of hotline workers so that they can perform their jobs with ...

It should be within ±10% of the rating stated on the body of the capacitor. If the capacitor is open or shorted, that is the likely cause. Replace the capacitor and test the operation of the motor ...

After a while though, the capacitor's leakage current just keeps going up and now you've got a short through the MOSFETs that are next to the capacitor. Lesson: don't skimp on your processes and QA.

When checking and verifying capacitors, inductors, diodes, bipolar transistors, and cables, the gamut of test methods can range from those used to confirm a defective component ...
