One of the goals for designers of new high-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) is to relax the design requirements for the external input amplifier and reference, often by including ...

Capacitance at the input of the DC-DC converter plays a vital role in keeping the converter stable and playing a role in input EMI filtering. Large amounts of capacitance at the output of the DC-DC ...

What is a pre-charge circuit and what role does it play? The fundamental elements of a pre-charge circuit. Some basic best practices and where to find more information. A common challenge in systems ...

Rectifiers and ac-dc power supplies employ large bulk capacitors. During power-up, these capacitors require a large amount of current to charge up, resulting in a large inrush current. This inrush ...
