Embedded silicon capacitors, or ECAPs, aim to solve issues of power integrity from inside the processor’s package.

The race to build reliable quantum computers is fraught with obstacles, and one of the most difficult to overcome is related ...

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 ...

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 ...

Experimental electrical double-layer capacitances of porous carbon electrodes fall below ideal values, thus limiting the practical energy densities of carbon-based electrical double-layer capacitors.

Energy saving: artist’s impression of the gate material with negative capacitance. (Courtesy: Ella Maru Studio) By exploiting a curious effect called negative capacitance, researchers have designed a ...

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 ...

Empower has launched three embedded silicon capacitors (ECAPs) for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) processors.

[Dr Ali Shirsavar] from Biricha Digital runs us through How to Select the Perfect Output Capacitor for Your Power Supply. Your switching-mode power supply (SMPS) will require an output capacitor both ...
