Ceramic capacitors play an oversized role in circuit performance as a major contributor to voltage regulator control loop stability and power delivery network (PDN) impedance. When designing with ...

Accurate modeling of power electronic converters, i.e., obtaining control to output transfer function, must include series resistance of capacitors and inductors. A simple method allows measurement of ...

Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance ...

Guest columnist Dale Cigoy, lead applications engineer at Keithley Instruments, outlines how an understanding of the challenges for testing capacitors can be invaluable to engineers. Capacitors are ...

Measuring tiny differences in high-voltage circuits usually requires specialized differential test probes, which are often expensive. Fortunately, it’s possible to build your own high-voltage probe ...

Occasionally a design requires capacitors that are much closer to being identical in value to one another than the usual ...

Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...

Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVTs) are central to modern power systems, where they not only scale high transmission voltages into measurable signals but also ensure the precision needed for ...

Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

MicroCloud Hologram Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLO), ("HOLO" or the "Company"), is a technology service provider. Because traditional ...
