Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

Although SPICE can be a powerful tool, there are pitfalls in relying solely on simulation. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it's imperative that a SPICE simulation be anchored to a detailed ...

When employing electrolytic, ceramic, and film capacitors in various configurations for high ripple current applications, you run the risk of stressing the capacitor, which leads to premature failure.
