App note: Ceramic Varistors TNR™

A technical note on varistors by Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation. Link here (PDF) A varistor has the volt-ampere characteristics in which current suddenly starts to flow through the device at a certain voltage. Varistors are used to protect semiconductor devices in electronic and electric circuits from overvoltage. They are inserted in parallel with a circuit to […]

App note: Conductive polymer aluminum solid capacitors

Presenting the polymer capacitor by Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation. Link here (PDF) Conductive polymer aluminum solid capacitors, which will be abbreviated to “polymer capacitors” in the following, have been recently extending in their applications. The polymer capacitors as well as conventional aluminum electrolytic capacitors are featured by large capacitance and excellent bias characteristics which multilayer ceramic […]
