Capacitors are classified according to their dielectric’s type. Electrolytic capacitors are popular in power electronic circuits, due to their high volumetric efficiency and excellent price ...
Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance) and series resistance play an ...
In this segment, we’ll discuss ripple ratings — or how to cook a capacitor. Ripple is often evaluated in terms of its two components: ripple voltage and ripple current. In most applications, it’s a ...
