My friend's computer has been acting flakey, especially when he's got a lot of bus-powered USB devices plugged in. I've narrowed the problem down to either the motherboard or power supply. The power ...

Engineers designing power electronics find that capacitors are needed for several functions, from energy storage to filters and decoupling. Different capacitor types are available, that at first sight ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

As you will probably already know if you are engaged in electronics design at some level, a capacitor is a passive device ...

Editor’s note: The following is Part one of a technical white paper by Ericsson with some very educational and practical design information. The paper discusses the Loop Compensator and Capacitor ...
