Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...

Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, taking the form of conductive plates separated by an insulating material ...

The input stage of an off-line power converter usually contains an LC averaging filter. A common practice is to damp the LC filter using additional reactive/dissipative components. In this article, we ...

The switched-capacitor (SC) techniques enable the design of various filters that can be realized in monolithic integrated circuits from using state-of-art MOS technology. By replacing the noisy ...

Many sensors have a small analog signal that rides on top of a larger dc pedestal. For these circuits (Fig. 1), the signal must be ac coupled and amplified before it’s digitized. The feedback of an ...

For EMI filtering and noise attenuation, California-based Johanson Dielectrics is offering a range of novel multi-layer ceramic devices that combines two balanced shunt capacitors with mutual ...
