Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

Editor’s note: I am so happy that there are still companies around that create precision, discrete transistors in our industry; Linear Integrated Systems is one of the best I have encountered. There ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.

Electronic circuits are typically integrated in rigid silicon wafers, but flexibility opens up a wide range of applications in a world where electronics are becoming more pervasive. Finding materials ...

The critical role of snubber circuits in minimizing ringing and overshoot. How snubber circuitry is evolving to adapt to trends in power electronics, like the rising interest in wide-bandgap ...

Voltage is a measure of the difference in energy between one part of a circuit and another. It tells you how much electrical energy has been converted into other forms of energy. Voltage is measured ...

The supply voltage is shared between components in a series circuit, so the sum of the voltages across all of the components in a series circuit is equal to the supply voltage, \({V_s}\). if two ...

It's essential to understand how power and energy calculations relate, especially with the increased importance of energy efficiency. Calculations of power and energy are relatively straightforward ...
