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 ...

TDK presents the EPCOS CeraLink™, an innovative DC link capacitor for frequency converters. CeraLink™ is based on a PLZT ceramic material (lead lanthanum zirconate titanate) and covers a capacitance ...

More and more portable devices now use ceramic capacitors for filtering of dc/dc-converter inputs. Ceramic capacitors offer the advantages of small size, low ESR (equivalent series resistance) and ...

Scientists in India have developed a 500 W seven-level inverter prototype based on switched capacitors. The device is reportedly able to achieve a high efficiency despite switching, conduction, and ...

With their low equivalent series resistance (ESR), which allows for good ripple-current handling as well as high surge-voltage ratings and self-healing properties, film capacitors are strong ...
