Most intermediate bus converters (IBCs) provide isolation from input to output with the use of a bulky power transformer. They also normally require an inductor for output filtering. This type of ...
Storage elements that buffer energy of the most diverse forms, and make it available for subsequent conversion processes, are significant components in modern power supplies and frequency converters.
With their low equivalent series resistance (ESR), which allows for good ripple-current handling as well as high surge-voltage ratings and self-healing properties, film capacitors are strong ...
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 ...
Although there are other technologies competing for the same market – most notably polymer and hybrid polymer capacitors – electronics design engineers feel comfortable with electrolytics. They know ...
