Webinar: How to Read the ESR Curve of Capacitors

Presented by: Istvan Novak The most widely used power distribution component is undoubtedly the bypass capacitor. After the nominal capacitance, its next most important parameter is its Effective Series Resistance, or ESR. To use bypass capacitors properly, we need to understand what exactly ESR means and how to read the ESR curve in measured or simulated plots. You will learn typical values and representative ESR curve shapes of different capacitor types.
