X7R Shrinks Form Factor, Expands Capacitance Value

Ceramic capacitors use different dielectric materials, and that leads to various capacitor types and characteristics: NP0, X5R, X7R, and Y5V. Here, while X7R is probably the most popular of these intermediate dielectric materials, it also embodies a demanding dielectric design that is very difficult to master.

Three Thermal Mitigation Options in LED and Ultra-bright LED Design

Manufacturers and buyers of LED and ultra-bright LED lighting along with other power electronic products are demanding steady improvements in component performance. On the other hand, component designers have only limited space available for any compelling design to flourish and they also must complete their projects within tight budgets. It is the classic case where success in resolving one large obstacle often presents one or more additional large and equally challenging hurdles.
