In the conventional dc-dc converter buck topology (Fig. 1), power from the input voltage source is transferred to the output filter by turning on the pass transistor. When the pass transistor is on, ...

Engineers designing power electronics find that capacitors are needed for several functions, from energy storage to filters and decoupling. Different capacitor types are available, that at first sight ...

Figure 1 provides a plot of this expression; it is a circle with a maximum of 0.5, at 50% duty factor and two zero crossings at zero and 100% duty factor. The curve is symmetric around 50%. Between 20 ...

What are output capacitors and how do they impact power supplies? Simulating a circuit to reduce the amount of capacitors in a supply. What is adaptive voltage positioning? A power supply’s output ...
