KEMET introduces first-to-market multicomponent capacitors for low and high frequency filtering

KEMET has introduced its first-to-market F5D Series metallised polyester (MKT) film capacitors with integrated ceramic capacitors. These multicomponent capacitors eliminate the need for two devices by filtering both low and high frequency noise in automotive motors and other suppression applications.

“These innovative multicomponent capacitors handle both low and high frequency EMI/RFI suppression in just one small device without the need for a printed circuit board,” said Dr. Philip Lessner, KEMET Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Scientist. “The F5D Series clearly demonstrates KEMET’s continued commitment to technological leadership and serving our customers as The Capacitance Company.”

“The F5D Series combines a self-healing MKT film capacitor, capable of withstanding high voltage peaks for low frequency filtering, and a multilayer ceramic capacitor of low capacitance for high frequency filtering,” said Franz Wurmser, KEMET Research and Development Engineer. “Automotive motor applications such as windshield wipers, cooling fans and seat positioning can all benefit from this single leading-edge KEMET component.”

I just saw an awesome presidential debate remix video by David Scott (a.k.a. the Kiffness). I'd never heard of David before. I'll never forget him now....

A game-changer for IP designers: design-stage verification

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

In this new technical paper, you’ll gain valuable insights into how, by moving physical verification earlier in the IP design flow, you can locate and correct design errors sooner, reducing costs and getting complex designs to market faster. Dive into the challenges of hard, soft and custom IP creation, and learn how to run targeted, real-time or on-demand physical verification with precision, earlier in the layout process.

How Capacitive Absolute Encoders Enable Precise Motion Control
Encoders are a great way to provide motion feedback and capture vital rotary motion information. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Jeff Smoot from CUI Devices investigate the benefits and drawbacks of different encoder solutions. They also explore the unique system advantages of absolute encoders and how you can get started using a CUI Devices absolute encoder in your next design.
