Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...
In Part 1, it was explained that the SPICE simulation tool allows you to analyze the behavior of electronic circuits in precise detail. This installment will analyze the RC time constant, which ...
