This application note explains the calculation of external capacitor value for buck converter IC circuit. Change of capacitance value due to temperature can obtain stable temperature characteristic by ...

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, ...

Ideally, the power factor should be 1; then the load appears as a resistor to the AC source. However, in the real world, electrical loads not only cause distortions in AC current waveforms, but also ...

Intelligent control is increasingly used in automotive devices where electric drives are now specified for power steering units, water pumps, and air-conditioning compressors. The automotive ...
