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

“Our customers are under intense pressure to deliver greater performance with tighter power margins,” said Steve Hertog, Senior Vice President Worldwide Sales, Empower Semiconductor. “These new ECAPs ...

Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

Ferroelectric materials, which were discovered nearly a hundred years ago, and have led to a huge range of applications, including digital information storage and neuromorphic computing, are still not ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have experimentally demonstrated how to harness a property called negative capacitance for a new type of transistor that could reduce power consumption, validating a ...

Op amps with low input capacitance are required in applications such as smoke detectors, photodiode transimpedance amplifiers, medical instrumentation, industrial control systems, and the piezo-sensor ...

Ceramic capacitors are pretty much the pixie dust of the electronics world. If you sprinkle enough of them on a circuit, everything will work. These ceramic capacitors aren’t the newest and latest ...

Scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) is a scanning probe method that uses the S11 parameter to calculate the local tip-sample microwave impedance. This impedance is affected by the sample’s local ...
