For as versatile and inexpensive as switch-mode power supplies are at all kinds of different tasks, they’re not always the ...

Capacitor bank market set to hit $6.8 Bn by 2033 (CAGR 4.8%) driven by renewable grid needs, voltage stability & industrial demand. <b ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

What function does a capacitor auto-discharger perform in a power supply circuit, and how does it work? What are its fundamental building blocks, and can engineers develop a capacitor auto-discharge ...

The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

The reason for this is a capacitor's lower energy density. Whereas a 100-kWh lithium-ion battery might weigh around 1200 pounds, a capacitor with a similar capacity would hit the scales at roughly ...

The power dissipation in the discharge resistor depends on the X-capacitor value. At 230-V AC, with a discharge resistor that meets the time-constant requirement, that resistor results in dissipation ...

Jitter is one of the primary challenges in clock generator circuits. It arises due to the mismatch between the charging and discharging currents of the charge pump in a Phase- Locked Loop (PLL). This ...

As part of a phosphorescence detector, [lcamtuf] has been working with photodiodes. The components, like all diodes, have some capacitance at the junction, and this can limit performance. That&#821… ...

Measurements on the time constant of a capacitor The next experiment concerns the study of the time constant of a capacitor. The time constant of a capacitor is a fundamental concept in electronics ...
