Ohmic resistors are generally employed to limit the current when charging capacitors. This, however, is accompanied by technical risks. If, for example, the capacitor short circuits or the relay has a ...

Battery technology is the talk of the town right now, as it’s the main bottleneck holding up progress on many facets of renewable energy. There are other technologies available for energy storage, ...

Part 2 goes further into the methods that can help lower EMI in switched-cap designs, including implementation of active EMI filters and visible light communication. Part 2 delves further into why ...

There was a recent news item regarding a teenager's project to use a super capacitor as a quick-charging energy storage device. The primary claim is that this could be used to fully charge a phone in ...

There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...
