In an era defined by Moore's law and escalating working frequencies, the intricacies of electronics design become ever more critical. The adoption of cutting-edge switching regulators amplifies the importance of meticulous capacitor selection. This article undertakes a comprehensive comparison between ceramic and electrolytic capacitors, shedding light on practical insights for informed decision-making.


Robustness Against Thermal and Vibrational Stress

For aficionados of vintage test equipment, the term "electrolytic plague" invokes memories of damage caused by electrolyte leakage. This phenomenon not only reduces capacitance but also corrodes PCBs.
