Tantalum capacitors offer designers of densely packed, high-performance electronic circuits a reliable high-capacitance solution with stable performance. A historical favorite among design engineers, ...

Not all UPS designs are the same. As a result of cost savings in the very competitive UPS market, some designs may not have the highest level of component reliability. Capacitors are an integral part ...

The concept of using supercapacitors (also known as ultracapacitors, supercaps, etc.), and replacing the batteries in portable micropower applications, 1 is gaining momentum. In fact, it has become ...

Capacitors. These seemingly simple devices are an integral part of virtually every electronic design. It’s been noted that capacitors account for more items in most circuit bills-of-material (BOMs) ...

Advancements in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) technologies necessitate deploying an increased number of integrated circuits (ICs) within vehicle systems. This ...

Capacitor manufacturers are looking to offset steep price declines of ceramic capacitors with new designs and technologies. The good news for designers is the myriad of new specialty products that ...

This image shows the movement of the domain wall (a-c and b-d) in a capacitor when a charge is added to one side (c). The resulting redistribution of the domain wall causes a negative capacitive ...

When you're editing 4K videos or running high-resolution AAA games on your laptop, it's easy to overlook the components working quietly in the background to keep everything running smoothly. Modern ...

A power supply’s output capacitors - which are typically ceramic capacitors with values between 100nF and 100μF - cost money, take up space, and, in the case of delivery bottlenecks, can be difficult ...

Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO, Robert Friedland, and Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Laurent Frescaline, of I-Pulse, ...

SplashValve utilizes capacitor charging and discharging to spread power demand, reducing peak current requirements and enabling smaller power supplies. It operates with a 90-degree bi-directional ...

When a crew employed by a local electric utility set out to conduct a DC hi-pot test on a new circuit breaker, the task seemed like nothing more than a routine call. Unfortunately, the events that ...
