For the cautious, a good piece of advice is to always wait to buy a new product until after the first model year, whether its cars or consumer electronics or any other major purchase. This gives the ...

Myrtle Beach, S.C. — AVX Corp. has designed a ceramic capacitor that virtually eliminates the risk of short-circuit failure. Terminated with the company's FLEXITERM technology, FLEXISAFE capacitors ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

Why should we do AC-coupling on SDI and, how does AC-coupling degrade our SDI signal? In past experiences, many engineers asked me this simple question, and because we are familiar with AC-coupled ...

Charge pump circuits represent a pivotal technology in modern power management systems, utilising capacitors switched at high frequencies to convert a low input voltage into a higher, regulated output ...

Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...

There came a time when high-speed electronic circuits reached speeds that required engineers to analyze the design for signal ...

Article 460 of the NEC provides the requirements for installing capacitors on electrical circuits [460.1]. It does not address surge capacitors or capacitors included ...
