The constant miniaturisation trend, primarily driven by Moore’s Law, has affected all areas of electronics. Making things smaller doesn’t just make them easier to carry around; it enables a higher density of capabilities and features, as well as higher power densities and efficiencies. Generally, the first things to shrink are the...
The world transmits its electricity in AC, and there are many sound historical and technical reasons for that. Many of our devices don’t use electricity in the form and voltage it comes in from the AC mains. It has to be down-converted and many times changed from AC to DC. Doing that safely...
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can be a fun activity, like when rubbing a balloon on your hair. When it comes to electronic devices, this fun phenomenon decreases application reliability. These malfunctions result in product losses adding up to billions of dollars annually. TVS diodes are one common type of ESD countermeasure, but did you know capacitors can help...
Did you know that when you’re searching for an inductor, one of the first parameters you need to check, besides inductance, is the current rating?
In this video you can find why the rated current of an inductor is just as important as the inductance itself.
The video talks about DC resistance, self-heating, and get...
MLCCs are the most common type of capacitor out there. Almost every single electronic device uses MLCCs in a multitude of applications. We all know what MLCC stands for (multilayer ceramic capacitor), but do you know how they are made? What are the different types and how to choose from among all the...
What are the secrets of Power Inductors? How boost and buck converter works, the requirements, and how to calculate inductor and inductor selection guide are discussed by KEMET EMEA Industrial TechDay Session 6 webinar: Boost your Buck!
DC link application requirements and capacitor selection guide has been explained during KEMET EMEA Industrial TechDay Session 4: DC Link webinar.
See the webinar to understand the missing link between AC and DC and what is the best capacitor solution.
