Use this electronics calculation for a first-pass component, converter, signal, motor, or sensor estimate when the stated operating conditions and units match the device data.

Mounted inductance (nH)

Mounted series inductance in nanohenries.

Capacitance (nF)

Capacitance in nanofarads.

Compute the resonant frequency in megahertz of a decoupling capacitor from its mounted series inductance in nanohenries and capacitance in nanofarads. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Resonance frequency (MHz)

LC self-resonant frequency of the decoupling network.

• EMI attenuation and protection calculations depend on source and load impedance, parasitics, layout, enclosure seams, cable coupling, frequency, pulse shape, and test standard. Component impedance curves alone do not demonstrate emissions, immunity, or ESD compliance.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.

• Capacitor SRF

  Compute the self-resonant frequency of a capacitor from its equivalent series inductance and capacitance.

• Common-Mode Choke Impedance

  Estimate one winding's series RL impedance magnitude at frequency f as √[R²+(2πfL)²]. Enter the effective common-mode inductance and resistance at the operating point; real choke impedance also includes core loss, capacitance, and self-resonance.

• Crystal Motional Inductance

  Calculate motional inductance from a crystal's series-resonant frequency and motional capacitance.
