Full-wave rectifiers with capacitor filters are, without question, the workhorse — and the unsung hero — of the modern electronic world and for the gadgets we have come to enjoy. That being said, it ...

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 ...

Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, taking the form of conductive plates separated by an insulating material ...

A scheme of simple band-pass RC- and LR- filters on operational amplifiers containing only one capacitor or inductor and 3 resistors is proposed. A comparison is made of the amplitude-frequency ...

More and more portable devices now use ceramic capacitors for filtering of dc/dc-converter inputs. Ceramic capacitors offer the advantages of small size, low ESR (equivalent series resistance) and ...
