The size of a capacitor affects how much charge it can store (its capacitance), its voltage rating, and its physical ...

Abstract: In the 1970s, CMOS technology was finding its way into analog design through switched-capacitor circuits. The availability of simple switches and highimpedance nodes in CMOS afforded more ...

Abstract: The modeling and control of a soft-switched inverter with a switched capacitor cell is a challenging task, since the capacitor operates for a short time. This paper presents a unique ...

The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

Faculty of Engineering, University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa, Japan. Response speeds of the measuring instruments are limited by those of very low level dc current amplifiers [1,2], when very small ...

Capacitors are essential components in electrical circuits, serving as energy storage devices that can help start motors, filter signals, and much more. Installing a capacitor may seem daunting, but ...

Myrtle Beach, S.C. — AVX Corp. has designed a ceramic capacitor that virtually eliminates the risk of short-circuit failure. Terminated with the company's FLEXITERM technology, FLEXISAFE capacitors ...

Add a description, image, and links to the capacitor-circuit topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

Capacitors short-circuit discharge in an explosive environment can ignite and detonate the surrounding explosive media, causing dangerous accidents. At low voltages, this kind of discharge constitutes ...
