MLCC vs Tantalum: For Decoupling, input to regulator and ripple reduction
I require a 3.3uf capacitor in a 30 VDC environment for three different purposes:
decoupling of precision ADC or DAC;
input to a regulator (linear, switching, LDO); and
output of any regulator for ...

Ceramic capacitors microphonic bandwidth
I need to use some relatively high value (10uF) capacitors in a discrete switched capacitor circuit and I need them to precisely store their voltage for a small amount of time (about 5us). The ...

MAX682 with electrolytic capacitors
In a new design I would like to use the MAX682. In the datasheet I found this typical operating circuit:
I would like to use it exactly like that except that I'm going to pull /SKIP to GND.
In table ...

Ceramic capacitor value for an LM386N project
I am adding an LM386 to a music project and follow the guidelines in the datasheet:
My Vs is 4.7 V.
My Vin comes straight from a 12 bit DAC of a Cortex M3 MCU and goes from 0 to 3.3 V.
Pin 7 is ...

Choosing capacitor for RF coupling
I want to couple 10W at 150MHz, 50 Ohms (before and after an RF switch). The PA is a RA08H1317M powered by 14V DC.
How do I choose an RF coupling capacitor?
I have found this answer, but it only ...

What's the difference between these two capacitors "JNC-JN222M" and "222-1KV"?
I have these two ceramic capacitors shown in the image below:
It seems to me that both of them have 2.2nF capacitance and the first one has 400V rated voltage while the other one has 1000V rated ...
