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 ...

My friend's computer has been acting flakey, especially when he's got a lot of bus-powered USB devices plugged in. I've narrowed the problem down to either the motherboard or power supply. The power ...

If you’ve seen a big air-variable capacitor, you may have noticed that some of the plates may have slots cut into them. Why? [Mr Carlson] has the answer in the video below. The short answer: ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Capacitors often are connected in parallel in power electronics to decrease high-frequency ripples, current stress, decrease power ...

Editor’s note: The following is Part one of a technical white paper by Ericsson with some very educational and practical design information. The paper discusses the Loop Compensator and Capacitor ...
