石英晶振谐振器（Xtal）作为一种用途广泛的频率元器件，厂家们都在规格书列出了标称频率、频率稳定性、工作温度、负载电容（Load capacitance）等基本参数，有的还提供了寄生电容（Shunt capacitance）和动态电容（Motional capacitance）指标。 例如，图1晶振的负载 ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

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 ...

Reducing the parasitic capacitance between the gate metal and the source/drain contact of a transistor can decrease device switching delays. One way to reduce parasitic capacitance is to reduce the ...

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 ...

The function of an LED is to emit light when the device is forward biased within its operating range, and it’s known by most ...

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 ...

Sumida Corporation has introduced two new pulse transformers, the CIUH10D46 and CIUH10D47, designed for use in advanced ...

According to precedence, MOSFET datasheets show output capacitance at a single measured voltage. While these values were good enough for relative comparison between products in the past, it is ...
