You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

What function does a capacitor auto-discharger perform in a power supply circuit, and how does it work? What are its fundamental building blocks, and can engineers develop a capacitor auto-discharge ...

Figure 1: To change the output voltage of a step-up converter, simply change the duty-cycle of the switching signal. Interestingly, the circuit raises the voltage by changing the duty cycle. In the ...

Abstract: Switching of shunt capacitors can cause transient overvoltage. The voltages are traditionally evaluated with electromagnetic transients (EMT) simulation programs. It is a very time-consuming ...

ABSTRACT: This paper describes a very low level dc current amplifier using switched capacitor (SC) circuit to miniaturize and improve its output response speed, instead of the conventionally used high ...
