Salahuddin and Datta found that, under certain conditions, the use of ferroelectric materials leads to a negative capacitance (that is, the voltage of the capacitor decreases as charge is added).

Behera and Cheema suggest the combination of "MLCC-like structures that integrate thin-film layers" could result in high ...

A capacitor is a passive electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field. It consists of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric. When a ...

the positive marked terminal is connected to -5V from the power connector, meaning that a negative voltage is across the capacitor. That's bad, but not necessarily catastrophic. The capacitor is ...

A charge pump works by applying positive voltage to a capacitor. Then the capacitor is quickly disconnected from power, and the input and ground are flipped, an equal but negative voltage is found ...
