Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...

Awhile back I was speaking to my uncle who worked at IBM fixing power supplies that they created for pcs. I asked him how dangerous it was to put your hands inside the power supply after he tests it ...

http://www.epcos.comCapacitors are one of the most critical of passive components that help fulfill the wide range of voltage and current combinations in power ...

Out of all of the fundamental passive electronic components, capacitors are arguably the most abundantly used. In fact, it is hard to find a circuit board that does not have a capacitor on it and a ...

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 ...

Noise is a constant problem in power-supply design. While there are FCC limits on the electromagnetic interference (EMI) radiating out into the air as well as the conducted noise that your design ...
