Choosing a capacitor for reliable performance in today’s automotive electronics requires an examination of several parameters. The performance characteristics of the various capacitor technologies ...
Some 99 percent of the “design” problems associated with linear and switching regulators can be traced directly to the improper use of capacitors: wrong type, wrong value, or incorrect physical ...
A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...
