Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are ubiquitous in today’s electronics designs. They make up an estimated 30% of the component count in many products, with a market value of more than $8 billion. Recently, there have been shortages in MLCCs, with lead times extending to problematic lengths, and these capacity...



Vector Network Analyzers of Rohde&Schwarz family are able to measure magnitude and phase of complex S-parameters of a device under test (DUT) in the frequency domain. By means of the inverse Fourier transform the measurement results can be transformed to the time domain. Thus, the impulse or step response of the DUT...



To ensure the stability of voltage regulators and switchedmode power supplies, the control loop behavior must be measured and characterized. A well compensating voltage controller enables stable output voltages and reduces the influence of load changes and supply voltage variations. The quality of this control circuit...



Modern power architectures are advancing miniaturization of semiconductors and other discrete devices. These advancements require migrating to more progressive design topologies to increase density and efficiency. This shift in developing new technology is transforming all facets of the design process. At the same time,...



All power supplies generate waste heat which has to be dissipated. The heating effect becomes greater as more components are squeezed into smaller spaces. The result of miniaturization is higher levels of heat per cubic volume of space.
The heat generated by components not only passes into the air around the components...
