This video explains how inductors work and how they store energy in a magnetic field when electrical current flows through them. Inductors are passive components used to resist sudden changes in ...

Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) has announced the availability of a high-efficiency, high-power-density 5kW AC-to-48V DC reference design that demonstrates the full potential of GaN ...

While passive precharge employs a power resistor to create an RC circuit that charges the capacitor asymptotically, active precharge can employ a switching converter with a buck topology that uses ...

A few years ago, there was a stir about a new fundamental component called a memristor. That wasn’t the first time a new component type was theorized though. In 1948 [Bernard Tellegen] postulated the ...

Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) announced the availability of a high-efficiency, high-power-density 5kW ...

Out of all of the fundamental passive electronic components, capacitors are arguably the most abundantly used. In fact, it is hard to find a circuit board that does not have a capacitor on it and a ...
