There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...

Capacitors are small components that store and release electrical energy in quick bursts. This video explains how they charge ...

Many electronic devices require user input for setting the application properties. Typical input devices include pushbuttons, potentiometers, and touchscreens. To minimize overall project cost, you ...

Part 2 goes further into the methods that can help lower EMI in switched-cap designs, including implementation of active EMI filters and visible light communication. Part 2 delves further into why ...

Linear Technology’s new LT3468 is a high-efficiency, fast photoflash capacitor charger. The LT3468 is a standalone solution for photoflash capacitor charging, requiring minimum board area and no ...

The batteries we rely on for everything from our cars to our cell phones use a chemical reaction to store and release an electrical charge. The chemicals involved force a large number of tradeoffs in ...
