The concept of using supercapacitors (also known as ultracapacitors, supercaps, etc.), and replacing the batteries in portable micropower applications, 1 is gaining momentum. In fact, it has become ...

According to the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms, power factor (PF) is defined as the ratio of the circuit power (watts) to the circuit volt-amperes. This is described by ...

There are many parameters to consider when designing a circuit using an operational amplifier (op amp) including the op-amp’s gain bandwidth (GBW) product, offset voltage and quiescent current. In ...

Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and low dropout (LDO) regulators are found in electronic systems. Critical SMPS requirements include a stable output voltage with load current, good temperature ...

Inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) serial resonant circuits, as shown in Figure 1, can achieve both zero voltage switching on the primary side and zero current switching on the secondary side in order ...
