Hmmm, I just received the following query from a reader: Dear Max, although not directly related to FPGA's, as you often throw odd questions up in the air I was thinking of you for this conundrum… ...

For electronics, your knowledge probably follows a bit of a bell curve over time. When you start out, you know nothing. But you eventually learn a lot. Then you learn enough to be comfortable, and ...

AVX Corp. has added more than a dozen new high-reliability SMD tantalum capacitors to its TMJ S1 Series, which exhibits very low DCL and high reliability when compared to other commercial-grade ...

AVX has expanded its high-voltage surface mount capacitor offering to include smaller case sizes, higher voltage ranges and higher capacitance values. The supplier’s high-voltage ceramic capacitors ...

Due to current bottlenecks in the procurement of surface-mount ceramic capacitors, designers are looking for substitutes to keep their production lines running smoothly, and to find long-term ...

Panasonic is to add a smaller case size to ZS-Series of SMD conductive polymer hybrid electrolytic capacitors. Remaining 10mm in diameter, the new case is 12mm rather than 16mm tall. “The effect of ...
