A capacitor that you charge through a resistor operates at 50% efficiency; hence, many engineers avoid using switched-capacitor dc/dc converters. That efficiency figure holds true only for capacitors ...

[Editor's Note: This tech bite was originally posted on the Fairchild Semiconductor website. Richard Chung, the applications manager at Fairchild, would like to bring these tech briefs from his team ...

Switched-capacitor blocks are easily configured to be integrators. When configured as an integrator, a switch-capacitor block can function as an op amp. Closed-loop stability is achieved by ...

Switched Capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters are DC-DC switching regulators that use only capacitors and switches to transfer charges between the input and the output. This architecture is an alternative ...

Underlying concepts of switched-capacitor circuits. IoT power management using a resonant switched-capacitor dc-dc converter or ultra-low-power switched-capacitor voltage regulators. For Part 2, go ...

Here's how to reduce the effect of capacitor switching on your power system Last month's article discussed exactly what happens when electric utilities switch shunt capacitors: power system components ...
