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 ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

A pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal and the RC-charging characteristics of a weighted-capacitor network can be used along with a CMOS Schmitt inverter to generate a pulse whose width is linearly ...

We often run into the situation where there are two capacitors, one of them charged up to some voltage level and the other at some lower voltage level which, for purposes of this discussion, we will ...
