Engineers designing power electronics find that capacitors are needed for several functions, from energy storage to filters and decoupling. Different capacitor types are available, that at first sight ...

If you build electronic circuits on a regular basis the chances are you will have used capacitors many times. They are a standard component along with the resistor whose values are lifted off the ...

During the internet boom of the late 1990s, tantalum prices soared because of the capacitors' use in computers and mobile phones. Capacitor makers attempted to secure supplies in the face of ...

First, let's define a capacitor: It is an electromechanical device capable of storing electrical energy (electrons). It differs from a battery, as a battery produces electrical energy as a by-product ...

TDK Corporation introduces the B3270xP, a series of ultra-small, metallized polypropylene (MKP) film capacitors tailored for ...

The capacitors handle heat, ripple, & vibration while saving space in powertrain and xEV systems. Could this change the way ...

Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are used extensively in modern electronics because they offer high volumetric efficiencies and low equivalent series resistances at attractive prices. These ...

Recently, Farah Electronics clearly stated in response to investor inquiries on its interactive platform that the company's film capacitors can be used in solid-state batteries, which are widely ...

The Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and several collaborating institutions have successfully demonstrated a machine-learning technique to accelerate the ...

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 ...
