Stacked Ceramic Capacitors’ Impact on Switch Mode Power Supplies

Stacked Ceramic Capacitors’ Impact on Switch Mode Power Supplies

ABSTRACT Today’s engineers are continually challenged to deliver higher density power supplies capable of satisfying the demands of ever more power hungry electronic devices. Not all modern electronics require increased power density. But it’s safe to say that getting more power out of power supplies with equivalent or smaller weights and volumes is a near universal interest in the design world, regardless. BENEFITS OF STACKED CAPACITORS Lower ESR Reduced Inductance Improved Power Density Enhanced thermal performance Read the full article on Power Systems Design
