Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...

It’s one thing to create your own relay-based computer; that’s already impressive enough, but what really makes [DiPDoT]’s ...

Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...

For the cautious, a good piece of advice is to always wait to buy a new product until after the first model year, whether its cars or consumer electronics or any other major purchase. This gives the ...

The DRAM cache trap—why a simple power outage can instantly corrupt your consumer SSD ...

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 ...

A pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal and the RC-charging characteristics of a weighted-capacitor network can be used along with a CMOS Schmitt inverter to generate a pulse whose width is linearly ...

A basic DVD writer was used to make graphene capacitors. These capacitors are thin, flexible, and potentially very inexpensive to manufacture, opening exciting possibilities for future electronics ...
