In electrical and electronic engineering, capacitors are fundamental components. They appear across all manner of applications, including power supplies, analogue filters, timing circuits, and energy ...

There is a looming spectre of doom hovering over the world of electronics manufacturing. It’s getting hard to find parts, and the parts you can find are expensive. No, it doesn’t have anything to with ...

In power converters, the input capacitors are fed through inductive cabling to the power source. Parasitic inductance will cause ringing of the input voltage to almost twice its DC value when first ...

Heavy load capacitance can cause the output of a unity-gain follower—an operational amplifier with direct feedback to the inverting input (Fig 1)—to ring and oscillate. The LM110 follower, for example ...

With their low equivalent series resistance (ESR), which allows for good ripple-current handling as well as high surge-voltage ratings and self-healing properties, film capacitors are strong ...
