Increased electrification in vehicles is changing the way driver assistance systems are designed, says Yang Wang, with high-side switches increasingly used for resistive, capacitive and inductive ...

Variable current will generate inductance, capacitance, and their related properties of inductive and capacitive reactance. Although there's no energy loss that directly results from these properties, ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

Parasitic capacitance lurks behind every corner of an electronic circuit. FET gates, cabling, ground and power planes all add to the Farad bottom line. When the capacitive load gets heavy in high ...

Frequently, 24V and 48V rails are used to power pumps, motors, fans, compressors, capacitor banks, batteries, or combinations of inductive and capacitive loads, in complex systems that come with ...
