In my May blog post, I described the construction of a low-pass filter that used op-amps, capacitors, and resistors. I ignored thermal drift, long-term accuracy, and other characteristics and tested ...

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 filter is a device that passes or rejects certain frequencies of a signal. Three common type of filters are the low- pass filter the bandpass filter, and the high-pass filter. An ideal low-pass ...

Scientists in India have developed a 500 W seven-level inverter prototype based on switched capacitors. The device is reportedly able to achieve a high efficiency despite switching, conduction, and ...

Underlying concepts of switched-capacitor circuits. IoT power management using a resonant switched-capacitor dc-dc converter or ultra-low-power switched-capacitor voltage regulators. For Part 2, go ...

Here's how to reduce the effect of capacitor switching on your power system Last month's article discussed exactly what happens when electric utilities switch shunt capacitors: power system components ...

Researchers have designed a new switched-capacitor-based multilevel inverter topology with nine switches. They have tested it in simulations and in hardware-in-the-loop tests. Efficiency reached up to ...

[Editor's Note: This tech bite was originally posted on the Fairchild Semiconductor website. Richard Chung, the applications manager at Fairchild, would like to bring these tech briefs from his team ...
