At a power-on cycle, inrush current, if not limited, can peak to tens of even hundreds of amps when capacitive load is present, thereby increasing the probability of failure and decreasing usable ...

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 ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Capacitor-based charge pumps (or Q-pumps) generally aren’t useful for sourcing large amounts of current, but they work well in niche ...
