Bob Pease is regarded as Mr. Analog by many people and he continues to explain misunderstood phenomena in a wide range of applications.  The first edition of this note on capacitor soakage was published in 1982 in EDN, the year that I was born, and is still one of the few decent articles I can find covering the subject. This should prove useful to designers of sample-and-hold and integrator circuits along with those who are interested in a deeper knowledge of capacitors.
