Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

Capacitive wireless-power-transfer technology has the potential to overcome the power, distance, and orientation limitations of inductive power-transfer systems, such as Qi technology. Comparing ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 6. Low-voltage microcontrollers generally have been powered from a regulated supply, such as 1.8 to 3.6 V, and have very low current ...

Engineers designing power electronics find that capacitors are needed for several functions, from energy storage to filters and decoupling. Different capacitor types are available, that at first sight ...
