As switch mode power supplies continue to increase the frequency at which they operate, the filter capacitor becomes more important. This guide gives some great insight into the selection and mounting ...

Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...

Although SPICE can be a powerful tool, there are pitfalls in relying solely on simulation. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it's imperative that a SPICE simulation be anchored to a detailed ...

Since we’re now halfway through the series, it’s probably a good time to look at the nameplate parameter for capacitors – the capacitance itself. In most capacitor applications, such as bypass and ...

The new FFLK series DC filtering film capacitors deliver high volumetric efficiency, durability, and cost savings in a wide variety of sizes, voltage ratings, and capacitance values and outperform ...

In the 1960s, mainframe computers took up entire rooms. By the 1980s, there were individual workstations and just a few decades later, laptops and smartphones became ubiquitous. Today’s technology is ...

A research team led by Prof. MENG Guowen and Prof. HAN Fangming from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), along with Prof. WEI Bingqing from the ...
