Engineers designing power electronics find that capacitors are needed for several functions, from energy storage to filters and decoupling. Different capacitor types are available, that at first sight ...

New manufacturing process increases the maximum operating temperature of SPA capacitors from 105 degrees to 125 degrees celcius, extending life to more than 10 years. The new, 125°C, solid polymer ...

Even though we publish new blogs daily from your intrepid editor and from a number of well known writers, sometimes it's good to have a look back at some of our well received articles from the recent ...

A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...
