Ideal capacitors only exist in textbooks. Every real-world capacitor has additional complexity arising from its physical structure. Two plates separated by a dielectric layer are in series with wire ...

The continuous evolution of microelectronics tends to underestimate the importance of passive components. Actually, capacitors, resistors, and inductors play a fundamental role in all electronic ...

Because of their high ESL compared to ceramic, tantalum capacitors are not the optimum choice for high frequency decoupling. Paralleling tantalum capacitors for bulk capacitance and ceramic for high ...
