Empower Semiconductor, a leading developer of integrated voltage regulators (IVRs), has unveiled the latest and largest silicon capacitor in its ECAP product family for high frequency decoupling.

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

Another passive two-terminal electrical component is the capacitor. It is formerly known as a condenser and is capable of storing energy in the form of an electrostatic charge that produces a ...

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 ...

Dialog Semiconductor has announced a 10A switched-capacitor voltage divide-by-two, that operates at up to 98% efficiency, hitting or exceeding 95% at 10A. Called DA9313, it can deliver over 50W from ...

Ask any electronics hobbyist or professional what the simplest building blocks of electronic circuits are, and they’ll undoubtedly say resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Ask a mechanically-inclined ...

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, ...

In power converters and power distribution networks (PDNs), mixing capacitors like high-inductance and high-capacity ...
