The latest Q5 interview is with Glenn Palmer, managing director of component manufacturer Murata Electronics UK.
He reveals his thoughts on changes in chip capacitor technology, whether high density power supplies will require new types of high reliability components, and the prospects for new dielectric materials.
The five short sharp questions this week are:
* What is the biggest change in chip capacitor technology in the last few years?
* Are we likely to see any new dielectric materials which will improve CV metric without comprising temperature stability?
* How do you see the needs of the design engineer changing?
