Capacitors play key roles in the design of filters, amplifiers, power supplies and many additional circuits. Here's a brief guide to the different types and the applications they're best suited for.
Using the THz-range resonance of a molecule rather than of atoms led to the development of a clock with nearly the performance of atomic clocks but fabricated as an IC.
Usually targeted at audio applications, these circuit blocks find homes in all types of designs. Here’s a quick study of their operation and properties.
Capacitors can provide vital ride-through (or hold-up) energy or mitigate ripple and noise in power-conversion circuits. Choosing the right type can profoundly affect a system’s overall size, cost, and performance.
Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Special op amps are available to deal with drift, high- and low-input voltages, noise, and error sources in critical applications such as medical instrumentation.
Sponsored by Digi-Key and Analog Devices: After years of trials and tribulations from all corners of the industry to nail down the technology, two MEMS SP4T switches overcome those nagging RF hurdles.
Hybrid-cascode power transistors offer a convenient upgrade path from standard power MOSFETs and IGBTs when trying to leverage the performance advantages of wide-bandgap semiconductors.
As the most intelligent and highly integrated gate drive technology, TI's Smart Gate Drive is easy to use, offers system cost savings, and provides reliable protection. Learn more about these benefits and find the right smart gate driver for your...
