We discussed in the previous tutorials the dielectric—the insulating material that prevents the two parallel conductive plates from touching each other. An electrical current flows when a voltage is ...

The most common approach to PI management, particularly for droops and other dynamic supply differential variations, is the addition of on-chip decoupling capacitance. Capacitance, local to a load ...

As the world shifts toward sustainable transportation, electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a key solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, one major hurdle remains: efficient and ...

How do multiple capacitors behave as a single equivalent capacitor? ⚡ This video explains how to find equivalent capacitance using fundamental physics, covering series and parallel combinations and ...

Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...

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 ...

Electromechanical switches are simple, cheap, and widely available (Fig. 1). However, they’re also plagued with a number of disadvantages, including wear with repeated use, and the potential for ...
