Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...

The tips and tricks when testing motor-driver ICs on the lab bench can help engineers reduce time spent on evaluating and prototyping motor systems. The first installment of this two-part article ...

Engineers often face design goals with conflicting requirements. For instance, take a design that requires an input capacitor to stabilize the bias voltage and present clean dc power to the device’s ...

In power supplies, dc-dc converters and many other power electronics circuits, chokes and transformers form an essential part of the filter network that provides low-ripple dc power. In many designs, ...
