  1. Thin Film Integrated Passive Devices 6/26/2023

    Integrated passive devices (IPD) represent a category of components designed for optimal, application-specific use rather than general use. Leveraging IPDs is an effective approach for engineers working to meet size, weight, and power (SWaP) goals.

  2. The Important Role Of A Bypass Capacitor 6/20/2023

    All electronics depend on clean power, and the bypass capacitor is crucial in ensuring devices safely meet their power specifications.

  3. The Capabilities, Benefits, And Key Applications For StackiCap 5/24/2023

    Power electronics are demanding higher capacitance in smaller packages. StackiCap is designed to provide high capacitance value (CV) in a compact package while reducing the risk of piezo electric cracking.

  4. Build-To-Print Services For Thin Film Circuit Design And Construction 5/19/2023

    Knowles Capacitors offers build-to-print services for thin-film circuit design and construction, which can help customers save time and money by reducing the need for in-house engineering and manufacturing resources.

  5. Build-To-Print Best Practices: Thin Film Technology And Process Guide 5/16/2023

    Thin film technology is the process of depositing a thin layer of material on a substrate. This guide provides an overview of thin film technology best practices.

  6. Anatomy Of And Stencil Design Recommendations For Our DLI Brand Filters 4/26/2023

    To get a better understanding of how to incorporate your DLI brand filter into your device, let’s first look at the anatomy of the filters.

  7. Selecting Capacitors For High-Voltage X-Ray Power Supplies 4/13/2023

    X-ray power supply design must be carefully thought through. If not correctly designed, there can be serious consequences ranging from deteriorated image quality to the release of excessive radiation that can be harmful to a patient.

  8. What are Flying Capacitors? 3/16/2023

    As demand for high-efficiency and high-power-density inverters continues to grow, the so-called “flying” capacitor multilevel inverter is emerging as a strong choice for many power electronics systems.

  9. The DC Bias Phenomenon Explained 2/27/2023

    When selecting an MLCC for your design, even when you know the rated capacitance for the MLCC, to ensure long-term reliability, you must be aware of and consider the impacts of DC bias on your device.

  10. What Is X2Y And Why Would I Use It? 1/26/2023

    Using X2Y technology, Knowles Precision Devices manufactures high-performance MLCCs that we then use to create a variety of off-the-shelf and custom bypass and noise decoupling capacitors and EMI filters.
