Kemet is aiming at fast-switching wide bandgap semiconductor (GaN or SiC) power supplies with high-voltage multi-chip ceramic capacitor assemblies. The parts, branded ‘KC-Link with Konnekt’, feature ...

The inverters and charging systems in hybrid or fully electric vehicles provide a topical example of a high-voltage application that faces extreme space constraints. When multilayer ceramic capacitors ...

Photoflash and strobe devices operate by discharging a high voltage capacitor into a bulb. Operation of these circuits from a battery or other low-voltage source requires a step-up dcdc converter to ...

In the past five to ten years, there has been a big shakeout in the capacitor industry with at least 15 major manufacturers ceasing production for various reasons. Product lines have also been ...

The rapid rise in vehicle electrification presents new challenges to source cutting-edge components that can handle higher temperatures and voltages without sacrificing reliability, availability, and ...

First, let's define a capacitor: It is an electromechanical device capable of storing electrical energy (electrons). It differs from a battery, as a battery produces electrical energy as a by-product ...
