Graham Sutherland / Polynomial<p>I've been making a bunch of notes about capacitors and figured I'd transform them into a blog post instead of just letting them languish on my hard drive forever.</p><p>Here's part one, on ceramics and MLCCs. I talk about the physical properties of the different dielectrics and how they behave at a high and low level.</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/capacitors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>capacitors</span></a></p><p><a href="https://codeinsecurity.wordpress.com/2023/03/16/notes-on-capacitors-part-1-ceramics-mlccs/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">codeinsecurity.wordpress.com/2</span><span class="invisible">023/03/16/notes-on-capacitors-part-1-ceramics-mlccs/</span></a></p>
