Most ICs need to be decoupled from their power supply, usually with a 0.1uF capacitor between each power pin and ground. Decoupling is usually used to remove noise and to smooth power fluctuations.

As of 2012 more than 10^12 barium-titanate MLCCs are produced each year. In the 1890s Charles ... Commons That takes us to the last of our capacitor types, and fairly exciting ones at that with ...
