A group of scientists from India has developed a novel single-source switched-capacitor-based multilevel inverter (SCMLI) topology. The novel SCMLI topology has fewer switches than a conventional ...

Abstract: Switched-capacitor (SC) circuits are ubiquitous in CMOS mixed-signal ICs. The most fundamental performance limitation in these circuits stems from the thermal noise introduced by MOSFET ...

Somewhere between the period of 1999 and 2007 a plague swept through the world, devastating lives and businesses. Identified by a scourge of electrolytic capacitors violently exploding or splurging ...

Tutorials might feel tedious in most games, but some titles bring a welcome twist to them. The best tutorials teach game basics and scale, like Skyrim's Prisoner Start. Iconic tutorials are fun and ...

Elecrolytics are more weird then most people realise. The actual capacitor exists at the interface of one electrode and the electrolyte. The other electrode simply ...

A capacitor typically has two conductors separated by an insulating material. It may consist of aluminum foil interspersed with oil-impregnated paper or synthetic insulating materials. It facilitates ...

Silicon capacitors are trending up when it comes to high-performance decoupling. Learn more about how these components could help optimize the “last inch” of power delivery to mobile SoCs. Mobile SoCs ...

Kelly has over 10 years of experience writing about home design and improvement for many prominent publications. She also spent several years working at a tech startup for an interior design game ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...
