There are several technical features required of capacitors used in professional audio and music applications. High-fidelity and noiseless audio-filtering features are necessary without any compromise ...

Vishay Intertechnology is extending its 193 PUR-SI series of miniature snap-in power aluminium electrolytic capacitors. There are now voltage ratings of 550V and 600V. The idea is to allow designers ...

As consumers become more dependent on their handheld devices, their demands for quality on every level of functionality will continue to increase. With music, consumers expect a distortion-free, ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

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 ...

Not all UPS designs are the same. As a result of cost savings in the very competitive UPS market, some designs may not have the highest level of component reliability. Capacitors are an integral part ...
