Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance) and series resistance play an ...

A key parameter of capacitors is their dielectric absorption (DA). If you want to estimate the capacitor’s quality or recognize its type of dielectric you can simply measure its DA. This simple ...

Using a PN-junction diode for temperature measurement usually depends on its 2‑mV/K temperature coefficient. Conventionally, you must amplify and digitize this voltage with an ADC before you can use ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

In back-end semiconductor processing it is important to improve the performance of semiconductors due to the limitations of miniaturization in front-end processes. To achieve this goal, the industry ...

Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVTs) are central to modern power systems, where they not only scale high transmission voltages into measurable signals but also ensure the precision needed for ...

Marwell Corporation will feature its AMI Capacitor Monitor adapter in Booth #3708 at DistribuTECH 2015. Marwell will showcase products developed to address the growing need for improved efficiency, ...

Simplify capacitor switching while increasing system reliability with the new easy-to-use Cooper Power Systems Edison capacitor switch. Using a direct drive, permanent magnet solenoid and dual coil ...

In the Kingston-upon-Thames museum are standard yards from the past. Made of iron, theywere the fundamental unit of length in their day. The trouble is they differ in length, some by hundreds of ...
