One of the most, if not the most, basic component of any power management system is the capacitor. It serves three functions: Shape frequency response Store energy Deliver current instantaneously ...

A capacitor that you charge through a resistor operates at 50% efficiency; hence, many engineers avoid using switched-capacitor dc/dc converters. That efficiency figure holds true only for capacitors ...

At APEC in Florida, Texas Instruments introduced a family of ICs designed to shrink the size of EMC anti-emission common-mode filters in single and three-phase mains and automotive power converters.

An electronic circuit that converts AC to DC and multiplies the source voltage. Using capacitor/diode pairs, the capacitor stores the source voltage like a charge pump, and the diode rectifies it. The ...

Any off-line power supply rated above 75W must comply with the IEC 1000-3-2 harmonic current requirements to be marketed in the European Union. Active power factor correction (PFC) front-end ...
