High-reliability capacitors specifically designed for use in harsh, high-temperature power conversion applications— including military, aerospace, and energy applications — are always in demand.

This application note explains the calculation of external capacitor value for buck converter IC circuit. Change of capacitance value due to temperature can obtain stable temperature characteristic by ...

Switched Capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters are DC-DC switching regulators that use only capacitors and switches to transfer charges between the input and the output. This architecture is an alternative ...

Selection of a suitable output capacitor plays an important role in switching-converter designs. “Some 99% of the ‘design’ problems associated with linear and switching regulators can be traced ...

Analog Devices has managed to create a 500W switched-capacitor power chip for fixed ratio power conversion at up to 72V and 99% efficiency. Power density up to 4,000W/in 3 is claimed. The main ...

A phase converter provides three-phase power from a single-phase source. Old-style mechanical converters use a hybrid motor/generator, while electronic converters use capacitors and other devices to ...

Capacitors are classified according to their dielectric’s type. Electrolytic capacitors are popular in power electronic circuits, due to their high volumetric efficiency and excellent price ...

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.

Analogue Devices has combined switched capacitor and inductive buck conversion in the same topology to reduce the size of step-down dc-dc converters. Called LTC7821, this is “industry first hybrid ...
