Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...

Not all UPS designs are the same. As a result of cost savings in the very competitive UPS market, some designs may not have the highest level of component reliability. Capacitors are an integral part ...

A. Temperature-dependent dielectric permittivity (εr) of an antiferroelectric (AFE) material, with schematic domain structures illustrate at different temperatures; B. The experimental setup for flash ...

TDK Corporation has extended its range of EPCOS MKK power capacitors. The new MKK DCi-R series B25640* with resin impregnation is based on the proven MKK DC series with gas impregnation and MKK DC-I ...

The demand for smaller, lighter, and more efficient AC/DC USB power delivery (PD) chargers is always a challenge for power-supply design engineers. Below 100 W, the quasi-resonant flyback is still the ...

In the past five to ten years, there has been a big shakeout in the capacitor industry with at least 15 major manufacturers ceasing production for various reasons. Product lines have also been ...
