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 ...

Capacitive charge-pump circuits are used in many applications. And though these circuits appear deceptively simple, engineers working on them need a thorough understanding of how they function. By ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...
