At a power-on cycle, inrush current, if not limited, can peak to tens of even hundreds of amps when capacitive load is present, thereby increasing the probability of failure and decreasing usable ...

Milpitas, Calif.&#8212Linear Technology's LT3485 family integrates a complete photoflash capacitor charger, IGBT drive stage, and output voltage monitor in a 3-by-3 mm DFN package. The chip's control ...

Part 2 goes further into the methods that can help lower EMI in switched-cap designs, including implementation of active EMI filters and visible light communication. Part 2 delves further into why ...

Figure 1 provides a plot of this expression; it is a circle with a maximum of 0.5, at 50% duty factor and two zero crossings at zero and 100% duty factor. The curve is symmetric around 50%. Between 20 ...

Electric cars and laptop batteries could charge up much faster and last longer thanks to a new structure that can be used to make much better capacitors in the future. When you purchase through links ...
