While capacitor versions have not changed much, there are a number of new power applications, where they are now used, such as alternative energy, electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage and more.

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 ...

The ADI Power Studio TM Planner tool enhances system-level power tree planning. The ADI Power Studio TM Designer tool offers guidance through the entire integrated circuit (IC)-level power design ...

When it comes to the most typical cause of poor power factor in a facility, motor inductance is a likely culprit. The problem worsens when motors are not loaded to their full capacity. Harmonic ...

According to the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms, power factor (PF) is defined as the ratio of the circuit power (watts) to the circuit volt-amperes. This is described by ...

Hybrid "power capacitors" that can store as much energy as lithium batteries, but with much higher charge/discharge rates, a huge range of safe operating temperatures, super-long lifespans and no risk ...

All life depends upon energy from the sun to exist. Directly or indirectly, the sun is the source of all energy on our planet in the form of fire, water, and wind. Because of the Industrial Revolution ...

Power system designers are constantly under pressure to attain larger power densities and improved conversion efficiencies, whether it is for data servers for the internet of things or data centers.

Mobile SoCs are progressing to finer process nodes to pack more computing power in a smaller space while slashing power consumption. These high-performance chips operate with lower supply voltages ...
