A voltage divider is a passive linear circuit used to create a voltage less than or equal to the input voltage. It is a conversion device composed of a high-voltage arm and a low-voltage arm. The ...

Capacitive sensors are PIC® MCU pins connected to an area of conductive material through an optional series resistor. As the environment changes around the sensor, the capacitance of the conductive ...

Dialog Semiconductor has announced a 10A switched-capacitor voltage divide-by-two, that operates at up to 98% efficiency, hitting or exceeding 95% at 10A. Called DA9313, it can deliver over 50W from ...

Maxwell Technologies, Inc.'s new Electronic Voltage Transformer (EVT) is for smart grid applications that range from 110 kV to 550 kV. The EVT is the latest addition to Maxwell's CONDIS® family of ...

Helix Semiconductors’ HS200 DC-DC MuxCapacitor Power IC is a new type of voltage divider that can play an integral role in a distributed power architecture (DPA) system. It provides a high-efficiency ...

Building a capacitance meter is a great exercise. If you’re feeling quite safe in your digital-circuit-only life, this will push just far enough out of the comfort zone for you to see there’s nothing ...
