How do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! So, how do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! Okay buckle up, ...

This tutorial explains how ceramic capacitor type designations, such as X7R and Y5V, imply nothing about voltage coefficients. Engineers must check the data to know, really know, how a specific ...

Many single-phase motors used on refrigeration systems will incorporate some type of capacitor. They will either use a start capacitor to aid in its starting or a run capacitor to improve its running ...

The size of a capacitor affects how much charge it can store (its capacitance), its voltage rating, and its physical ...

Existing test solutions aren’t always suitable for the latest improvements in switching regulator technology. Transient load testing can address these inequities. In response to the recent ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...
