Note that the Y-caps in a DC-DC converter are always between two DC levels, so we can forget ground leakage currents and their related safety issues. Therefore there is more flexibility in choosing ...

Variable current will generate inductance, capacitance, and their related properties of inductive and capacitive reactance. Although there's no energy loss that directly results from these properties, ...

Have you ever found the need to measure the capacitance of a capacitor? No multimeter handy (for shame)? Well, as it turns out you can actually measure capacitance using your Arduino Uno, with no ...

That said, measuring capacitance against a voltage isn’t something any ‘ol meter can do, and we’re glad [limpkin] could put together an easy to use tool that measures this phenomenon.

Therefore, the circuit has about 150 pF of parasitic capacitance. Note that just adding capacitance does little for the amplitude of the ring. The circuit requires some resistance to dampen the ...

Sources of capacitance. Two conductors separated by an insulating material, or dielectric, form a capacitor. Applying an electric charge to the conductors will create an electric field perpendicular ...

Touchstone Semiconductor's Martin Tomasz explains how to interfact to capacitive touch sensors using basic 555-timer circuits.

The negative capacitance is a direct result of the intrinsic energy barrier between two stable polarization states of the ferroelectric layer, he says. In regular ferroelectric capacitors with two ...

Targeting 10BASE-T1S, the new filter developed by TDK lowers line-to-line capacitance by approximately 30% compared to conventional products.
