Variation in capacitor characteristics due to dc bias and other effects impact power-supply design and simulation, and their impact becomes greater as designers pursue higher performance and higher ...

This presentation was originally given by Andrew Smith, product manager, LED Lighting at Power Integrations for EDN’s May 2011 live LED event in San Jose. The next free LED event will be part of ...

High-capacity, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) have a property often not well understood by electronic designers: the capacitance of these devices varies with applied DC voltage. This phenomenon ...

Selection of a suitable output capacitor plays an important role in switching-converter designs. “Some 99% of the ‘design’ problems associated with linear and switching regulators can be traced ...

Over on his YouTube channel [Aaron Danner] explains biasing transistors with current sources in the 29th video of his Transistors Series. In this video, he shows how to replace a bias resistor (and ...
