Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, taking the form of conductive plates separated by an insulating material ...

Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

When choosing a capacitor for any application, there are a few key characteristics that must be understood in order to analyze its suitability for the circuit. In a simple capacitor equivalent circuit ...

New capacitors covering the 5-µF to 60-µF range have been added to the EPCOS line of 4-pin link circuit capacitors operating on voltages from 250 Vdc (180 Vac) to 850 Vdc (350 Vac). The capacitors are ...

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 ...

This video explains the physics behind reversed resistor and capacitor equations. We clarify why voltage–current relationships appear inverted in different contexts, connect the math to physical ...

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 ...
