EPCOS has developed a new type of ceramic capacitor to minimize the risk of short circuits if the capacitor is damaged. The product is suitable for applications in which the capacitor is permanently ...

Murata has increased the capacitance and reduced the cost of its GB series of monolithic ceramic capacitors for power supply primary circuits. These parts are the first monolithic capacitors aimed at ...

Explore how VHU Series capacitors reduce DC-DC power consumption in automotive applications, ensuring stable performance and ...

Charge pumps represent an established topology for dc-dc converters that generate low-power inverted and doubled replicas of the input voltage. Typical output currents are as high as 150mA. Such ...

This video explains what capacitors are and how they function as energy-storing components in electronic systems. Capacitors temporarily hold electrical energy and help manage voltage and signal flow ...

A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...

Although shunt capacitors offer several advantages at all voltage levels, those advantages come at a price. Not only must you purchase, install, and maintain capacitor equipment, you must be able to ...
