The switched-capacitor (SC) techniques enable the design of various filters that can be realized in monolithic integrated circuits from using state-of-art MOS technology. By replacing the noisy ...

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 ...

Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...

In the 1960s, mainframe computers took up entire rooms. By the 1980s, there were individual workstations and just a few decades later, laptops and smartphones became ubiquitous. Today’s technology is ...

Although SPICE can be a powerful tool, there are pitfalls in relying solely on simulation. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it's imperative that a SPICE simulation be anchored to a detailed ...
