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 ...

Capacitors are small components that store and release electrical energy in quick bursts. This video explains how they charge up, discharge, and help regulate voltage in circuits. From power supplies ...

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 ...

Many electronic devices require user input for setting the application properties. Typical input devices include pushbuttons, potentiometers, and touchscreens. To minimize overall project cost, you ...

Your phone died. Again. In these scenarios, who among us has not dreamed the dream of a future where our devices charge instantly and last forever. As capacitors—or even more exciting, ultracapacitors ...

Hybrid "power capacitors" that can store as much energy as lithium batteries, but with much higher charge/discharge rates, a huge range of safe operating temperatures, super-long lifespans and no risk ...
