Safety capacitors are designed to mitigate the effects of transient voltages and interference in electrical and electronic circuits, especially high-voltage applications, ensuring their safe operation.

In power electronics, the DC link refers to the section that connects the input and output sides of the power conversion system.

Large voltage spikes are common in power circuits, particularly during switching—a core action for device functionality.

Q factor, or quality factor, is an electrical term used to describe the ratio of energy stored to energy dissipated in a capacitor at a certain frequency.

A medical device is considered “implantable” if it’s partly or totally introduced into the human body via surgery or another medical intervention, and it’s intended to stay there for a long period of time.

As you likely know, capacitors are used in electronic circuits to provide local energy storage and stabilize power supply voltage.

As electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers work to make batteries more affordable and easier to produce in mass quantities, we’re seeing changes in battery chemistry.

Radio frequency (RF) and microwave applications involve transmitting and receiving electromagnetic signals at high frequencies.

To understand what an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter is, and what it does, we need to first know what EMI is and why it needs to be filtered.

Welcome to the Capacitor Fundamentals Series, where we teach you about the ins and outs of chips capacitors – their properties, product classifications, test standards, and use cases.

One of the primary goals in electric vehicles (EVs) is to increase the efficiency of its power conversion devices.

A deep brain stimulator (DBS), also known as a neuro-stimulator, is a medical device that uses electrical stimulation to treat neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
