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 ...

Ohmic resistors are generally employed to limit the current when charging capacitors. This, however, is accompanied by technical risks. If, for example, the capacitor short circuits or the relay has a ...

There was a recent news item regarding a teenager's project to use a super capacitor as a quick-charging energy storage device. The primary claim is that this could be used to fully charge a phone in ...

There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. An inverting charge pump takes a positive supply voltage and generates a negative supply from it. Discrete-design ...
