Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

Today’s integrated video filter/driver devices can be designed into video systems (set-top boxes, PVRs, TVs) using a wide range of coupling and clamping configurations, such as input ac- or ...

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 ...

Tecate Group announced its offering of AC Safety Capacitors for X and Y class applications. Tecate's X/Y safety capacitor portfolio consists of the TYPE CMX multi-layer ceramic chip (MLLC) capacitors ...

Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than deal with the poor dielectric properties of air, some high-end variable ...

Not all UPS designs are the same. As a result of cost savings in the very competitive UPS market, some designs may not have the highest level of component reliability. Capacitors are an integral part ...
