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 ...

X- and Y-capacitors are commonly used to filter AC power-source electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise and are often referred to as safety capacitors. Here is a detailed view of these capacitors, ...

The FLC Series medium power AC filtering film capacitors from AVX Corp. exhibit high dielectric strength in operating temperatures spanning -40°C to +85°C. The capacitors comprise dry, metallized ...

Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance ...
