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 ...

Researchers have designed a new switched-capacitor-based multilevel inverter topology with nine switches. They have tested it in simulations and in hardware-in-the-loop tests. Efficiency reached up to ...

While capacitor versions have not changed much, there are a number of new power applications, where they are now used, such as alternative energy, electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage and more.

Underlying concepts of switched-capacitor circuits. IoT power management using a resonant switched-capacitor dc-dc converter or ultra-low-power switched-capacitor voltage regulators. For Part 2, go ...

With laptops continuing to slim down in form factor and tablets grabbing larger market shares as time goes on available PCB space is vanishing quickly. To fit into smaller PCB areas, power electronics ...

Here's how to reduce the effect of capacitor switching on your power system Last month's article discussed exactly what happens when electric utilities switch shunt capacitors: power system components ...
