There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...

Milpitas, Calif.&#8212Linear Technology's LT3485 family integrates a complete photoflash capacitor charger, IGBT drive stage, and output voltage monitor in a 3-by-3 mm DFN package. The chip's control ...

Before Lunar New Year, I had ordered two 3000 F, 2.7 V supercapacitors from China for about $4 each. I don’t actually remember why, but they arrived (unexpectedly) just before the holiday.

Your phone died. Again. In these scenarios, who among us has not dreamed the dream of a future where our devices charge instantly and last forever. As capacitors—or even more exciting, ultracapacitors ...

SplashValve utilizes capacitor charging and discharging to spread power demand, reducing peak current requirements and enabling smaller power supplies. It operates with a 90-degree bi-directional ...

As digital still cameras (DSCs) and mobile phone cameras become more popular, users are demanding higher-quality photos under lower-light conditions. The popular Xenon photoflash is excited by high ...
