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 ...

High-reliability capacitors specifically designed for use in harsh, high-temperature power conversion applications— including military, aerospace, and energy applications — are always in demand.

A system designer must almost always face a trade-off in choosing the right part for an application. The trade-off usually involves performance, price, and function. An example is the issue of ...

Analog Devices has managed to create a 500W switched-capacitor power chip for fixed ratio power conversion at up to 72V and 99% efficiency. Power density up to 4,000W/in 3 is claimed. The main ...
