Supercapacitors are a special type of electrochemical energy storage device noted for their ability to deliver sudden bursts ...

By their very nature, power factor correction capacitors are special devices that operate close to their dielectric breakdown limits — time, temperature, and peak voltage, all of which contribute to ...

How do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! So, how do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! Okay buckle up, ...

General decoupling applications require capacitors with a combination of high capacitance and low reactance (i.e., low equivalent series resistance [ESR] and equivalent series inductance [ESL]) in the ...

The inverters and charging systems in hybrid or fully electric vehicles provide a topical example of a high-voltage application that faces extreme space constraints. When multilayer ceramic capacitors ...

In electrical circuits that drive lasers, run cardiac implants, or convert between alternating and direct current, components called capacitors produce large, fast pulses of energy. A new composite ...

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SK keyfoundry, an 8-inch pure-play foundry in Korea, announced today the launch of its Multi-Level Thick IMD (Inter-Metal Dielectric) process for ...

Using a flyback topology to generate a high voltage is a common approach. The voltage can charge a capacitor for a high-energy pulse. Such an approach is used in defibrillator capacitors, photoflash ...
