Guest columnist Naoyuki Kobayashi, senior product manager at Murata says that one problem frequently encountered when designing LED lighting circuits is that the capacitors in the circuit experience ...

Individual pieces of graphene have some pretty amazing properties, but finding a way to produce bulk materials that make good use of those properties has been rather challenging. Now, researchers have ...

A modification of the current-control circuit in a low-voltage LED system allows use of a chopped supply voltage to modulate the LED intensity. The circuit prevents inrush current to the decoupling ...

Ever wonder what goes on inside of an electrolytic capacitor? Nick Visic from AiSHi Capacitors shows how these popular capacitors work in this tear-down video from DesignCon. The screw terminal ...

Capacitors are among the simplest of electronic components – in theory – but the practical implementation is becoming more complex, says Christian Merkel. Capacitors are two conducting plates, ...

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 ...
