A capacitor that you charge through a resistor operates at 50% efficiency; hence, many engineers avoid using switched-capacitor dc/dc converters. That efficiency figure holds true only for capacitors ...

Knowing the frequency response of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with a switched-capacitor front end is an important first step in understanding how to design an interface to these types of ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

Switched Capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters are DC-DC switching regulators that use only capacitors and switches to transfer charges between the input and the output. This architecture is an alternative ...

Scientists in India have developed a 500 W seven-level inverter prototype based on switched capacitors. The device is reportedly able to achieve a high efficiency despite switching, conduction, and ...

Nexperia has introduced an inductor-less energy harvesting IC that is able to cold start with 12μW from 270mV. Called NEH7100BU, it can mediate between a harvesting power source, a USB charger, a ...

NOJA Power's OSM Automatic Circuit Reclosers are being successfully utilized as capacitor switches in Colombia. NOJA Power reclosers can be used in situations beyond the traditional protection grading ...

Simplify capacitor switching while increasing system reliability with the new easy-to-use Cooper Power Systems Edison capacitor switch. Using a direct drive, permanent magnet solenoid and dual coil ...
