Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

In residential and light commercial HVACR, we work with run capacitors every day, and you may have noticed that they fail quite often. Because of this, many companies are beginning to integrate ...

Although SPICE can be a powerful tool, there are pitfalls in relying solely on simulation. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it's imperative that a SPICE simulation be anchored to a detailed ...

Exxelia, a manufacturer of high-reliability capacitors and subsystems, has developed what it calls a breakthrough technology for film capacitors. The new Miniature Micro-Layer (MML) capacitors offers ...

If you have ever read advanced textbooks or papers about electronics, you may have been surprised to see the use of complex numbers used in the analysis of AC circuits. A complex number has two parts: ...

Texas Instruments has used everything except the standard inductive step-down solution to make an ac-dc power supply with 10mW no-load performance, and 15mW light load drain (150nF mains series cap). ...

According to Exxelia, the MML line provides an energy density of 400 J/dm3. As a consequence, it allows for a substantial size/weight reduction compared to traditional Polypropylene or Polyester ...
