Increased electrification in vehicles is changing the way driver assistance systems are designed, says Yang Wang, with high-side switches increasingly used for resistive, capacitive and inductive ...

Traditional automotive ignition systems can be either inductive discharge or capacitive discharge. Traditionally, old-school stock engines had inductive discharge systems that rely on the coil to do ...

There are numerous factors to consider when adding external capacitors to switched-mode power supplies (SMPS). This article will discuss noise, startup, ESR, stability, pre-bias applications, Sense ...

Modern high-frequency amplifiers are a cranky group that lose performance when driving capacitive and reactive loads. Fortunately, you can use some simple tricks to pacify poorly loaded amplifiers.

Turning on a power source into a highly capacitive load can wreak havoc on circuit elements and protection devices. Foldback current limiting allows circuit elements to withstand transient currents ...

Recent studies indicate the level of knowledge and implementation of motor system energy-efficiency measures is low. A plethora of information on motor system design, best practices, purchasing, and ...
