Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) with large-capacitance can be used as smoothing-capacitor in power supply circuits. Compared to other capacitor types such as an electrolytic capacitor, MLCC ...

Power system designers are constantly under pressure to attain larger power densities and improved conversion efficiencies, whether it is for data servers for the internet of things or data centers.

The DRAM cache trap—why a simple power outage can instantly corrupt your consumer SSD ...

What are output capacitors and how do they impact power supplies? Simulating a circuit to reduce the amount of capacitors in a supply. What is adaptive voltage positioning? A power supply’s output ...

There is a general trend of making electronics smaller and with more functionality. This translates into: “Cram it in there,” so naturally designers look to find smaller and smaller parts. What was on ...

Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...
