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

If you have ever read advanced textbooks or papers about electronics, you may have been surprised to see the use of complex numbers used in the analysis of AC circuits. A complex number has two parts: ...

This video explains what capacitors are and how they function as energy-storing components in electronic systems. Capacitors temporarily hold electrical energy and help manage voltage and signal flow ...

Editor's Note: Here's another take on the transformerless AC line power supply, which finds use in some well-insulated, low-power devices. Our technical reviewer pointed out that C ac should be an ...

The Functional Materials and Devices Group aims to improve the operating voltage and energy storage density of high energy density capacitors. Currently, capacitor manufacturers competing for a market ...

In an effort to meet worldwide efficiency requirements, engineersare designing offline power supplies integrating high-efficiencyswitching-regulator-control circuits. This approachuses less copper and ...

AVX Corporation has announced the availability of its FLC Series medium power AC filtering film capacitors. The FLC Series medium power AC filtering film capacitors from AVX Corp. exhibit high ...
